Technical works will start next week on a section of the former Bessborough estate in Cork City as part of the preparatory planning process for more than 400 houses and a 15-acre public park on the site.
The works will focus on areas to the east and north of the former mother and baby home, away from the southeastern portion where a controversial strategic housing development (SHD) proposal from another developer was rejected last year.
