Developers who had just received planning permission for a €10m development of a landmark convent in west Cork were "devastated" to learn that a major fire there may have been started intentionally.
But CEO of Remcoll Capital, Paul Collins, said that the firm remains committed to completing the project at the former Sisters of Mercy campus on Cork Road in Skibbereen.
