Clare teachers oppose HSE plans for new community hospital on school grounds 

The secondary school staff says the green field development site at St Flannan’s College 'is the last remaining site of its kind in Ennis'

Staff from St Flannan's College in Ennis are opposed to the location of a new community hospital on the college grounds.

Teachers at an Ennis school are to oppose contentious €25m HSE plans for a 100-bed community hospital on church-owned green space on the college grounds.

Staff at St Flannan's College issued a statement in which they said the proposed elderly care unit development “will have a seriously negative impact on the student population” for a number of reasons.
