VIDEO: Enable Ireland funding drive as sod turned at €7m centre for children with disabilities in Cork

Enable Ireland launched a fundraising campaign yesterday for the 26,000sq ft facility in Curraheen — on the western outskirts of Cork City— to replace its ageing Lavanagh Centre in Ballintemple which has been providing therapy and support services since 1954.
“Over that time, the number of children needing services has increased significantly. Today, we work with over 640 children and their families and we need a new premises to continue to provide our vital services,” said Enable Ireland CEO Fionnuala O’Donovan.
