Religious order set for windfall with Bessborough sale

The religious order which owns the Bessborough campus in Cork City is in for a multi-million euro windfall after it confirmed it is to put the site up for sale, writes Noel Baker and Conall Ó’Fátharta.

Staff at the facility were informed on Thursday that plans are underway to sell the large site in Blackrock in a process that could take up to two years.
