Take me to church: A Cork property to aspire to 

No penance buying Probation Services' Cork offices as an investment property

The former St Nicholas Church, Cove Street, Cork city due auction in a BidX1  sale July 30. It earns an annual  income of €200,000  from the OPW Probation Service and €9,500 from a Meteor mast. 

Churches are often associated with concepts such as penance, absolution, and forgiveness.

Now, a church in Cork city centre associated with implementing the aims and graces of justice and probation is up for grabs.
