Developers target another section of Bessborough mother and baby home site

Their report said the former Bessborough estate has been identified as having “residential development potential" and as having a very important role to play locally with respect to "placemaking and delivery of a neighbourhood park".

Developers have targeted another part of the former Bessborough mother and baby home estate in Cork for apartments just months after a large scheme at a nearby location was shot down.

A company called Estuary View Enterprises 2020 Limited of Glandore has embarked on consultation with An Bord Pleanála in relation to its proposal to demolish agricultural sheds and structures, and build 184 apartments, a creche and associated site works on land near the former mother and baby home.
