Appeal against cancer centre at Mercy Hospital in Cork

Plans for a new cancer-care centre in Cork City have been put on hold following objections from the owners of properties adjoining the proposed development.

Two parties have appealed against the decision of Cork City Council last month to grant planning permission for the new centre to be run by the Mercy University Hospital Foundation.

The project involves the demolition of four buildings on Wood’s St and the construction of the facility which would be up to three storeys high consisting of offices, reception, waiting area, a social space, counselling rooms, a reading room and ancillary spaces.
