CUH looks to reinstate helipad after 15 years

Planning permission has finally been lodged for a helipad at Cork University Hospital (CUH), almost 15 years since its original landing site was decommissioned.

The HSE has also sought permission to develop a new two-storey staff car park to replace 164 parking spaces set be lost as a result of the project, which is earmarked for the site of the staff car- park in the northeast of the hospital’s Wilton campus, and a new pedestrian bridge over its internal ring road.
