A multi-million euro package has been confirmed to extend Mallow General Hospital, with building to begin shortly subject to Covid-19 restrictions.

The funding of €29m will cover a 48-bed extension on the grounds of the hospital, and was confirmed by the HSE to Cork East Labour TD Seán Sherlock, who described it as "a massive vote of confidence in Mallow's future".
