Talks to convert former seminary and hurling school into new Gaelscoil and housing

Talks have taken place about rezoning part of a former seminary and famous hurling school on the northside of Cork city to provide new homes and a new gaelscoil.

Planning consultants acting on behalf of the Farranferris Foundation, which manages the Farranferris campus off Redemption Road on behalf of the Diocese of Cork and Ross, met with senior officials of Cork City Council to outline their new proposals for the site which includes the protected former seminary building, which dates from 1887, and several sports pitches.
