Masterplan for derelict college redevelopment

A ‘masterplan’ will be designed to help renovate a derelict boarding school in a Cork gaeltacht.

Coláiste Íosagáin, an imposing building on the main Cork-Killarney road in Baile Mhúirne, closed as a school in 1989. However, €180,000 funding from the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund is being seen as a first step in helping owners Údarás na Gaeltachta to restore the building.
