Young and old in development mix as nursing home and Montessori planned for rectory

Regular interaction between elderly residents of a nursing home, and young children attending a nearby Montessori school, form part of a novel plan to develop a prime site outside Cork City as part of a circa €15m investment.

The plans also include adapting a coach house on the grounds of Glanmire Rectory, Dunkettle, to provide a private function room where nursing home residents can celebrate family occasions.
