The developers behind plans for apartments on a former mother and baby home estate in Cork will tell An Bord Pleanála on Wednesday that they are happy to conduct more site investigations to establish the presence or absence of human remains.

MWB Two Ltd will outline its position to the board's oral hearing into its proposed 179-unit strategic housing development (SHD) project on former Bessborough lands which opens tomorrow. The hearing will be held virtually.
