The Irish Dental Association (IDA) said it is “devastating” that a new dental school is no longer being considered for Cork and urged the Government to get behind the shelved plans.

This follows the dean of the Cork University Dental School and Hospital saying plans to build a new five-storey school are no longer going ahead.
