Northside Cork garden to act as training centre for girls at risk of homelessness

A new garden will serve as an outdoor training centre for vulnerable young women at risk of homelessness in Cork.

Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney performed the official opening yesterday of the Good Shepherd Services’ Bruac Eile garden project on the city’s northside.

“The women and girls who attend our educational programmes would have had very little formal second level schooling,” said Good Shepherd Services chief executive Tony O’Riordan.
