Cork city's Good Shepherd Convent back up for sale with planning for 202 units

A controversial Cork city convent site, which has had five owners since 1996 and which was twice ravaged by fire, in 2003 and again 2012, is back for sale.

The Good Shepherd Convent in Sundays Well carries a guide price of €6.75 million, having secured new planning permission for 202 residential units: it last sold only three years ago, for just over €1.5 million.
