Staff denounce 'run and grab-all by nuns' as centre for vulnerable in Cork set to close

The Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary have decided to sell a 40-acre estate in Cork which accommodates a range of services for vulnerable families and children.

Over the past 20 years, €30m in State funding has been spent on Bessborough in Blackrock on the southside of Cork city to order to maintain and upgrade the site.
