Healthy sale for city site

JOB relocations by the HSE to the St Finbarr’s Hospital campus in Cork city will stand to the benefit of a site just sold on the Douglas Road, with a Tesco Express or Centra rumoured as a possible user.

The HSE relocations, from city offices and locations like the Kinsale Road roundabout will see employment numbers — already in the hundreds — swell further, creating local day-long demand for retail, convenience snacks and food at this setting, a kilometre from the city centre.
