‘Coming of age’ €2.5 million Carrigaline site may well suit a nursing home

Satellite Cork town has it all - bar a purpose built care home for an ageing population, says estate agent

Nursing hopes of development: 4.2-acre Kilnagleary Carrigaline site could suit high density residential, or nursing home, or a mix of uses

A DEVELOPMENT  site sale in Cork's Carrigaline might well show the 'satellite' town's coming of age - it may be bought for development of a nursing home.

With a population heading to 18,000, and a 50 year span of residential development from village status to thriving community with  a full range of service and amenities, from schools to shops and sports, the only real lack is a modern nursing home to serve a naturally ageing population, notes estate agent Malcom Tyrrell.
