The Covid-19 pandemic has stalled plans for a helipad at Cork University Hospital (CUH) - the latest delay to hit the delivery of the long-awaited piece of critical infrastructure.

And health chiefs said they can't say when the work will start because a range of other projects on the hospital campus must be done first to facilitate it.
