A HSE application to convert a Cork B&B into a mental health facility, lodged 14 months after the building's purchase, faces further delays due to insufficient planning information being submitted.

Cork County Council told the HSE in late April that its planning permission application for Glenwood House in Carrigaline has stalled as the information supplied “is not yet sufficient” to enable the local authority to make a decision. The HSE has yet to respond to the council.
