A NEW clinical medical school to support the teaching of medical students on Cork University Hospital (CUH) campus has been given the go-ahead by planners.

The three-storey 3,200 sq m facility will occupy an existing open space on the western side of the campus, adjacent to the dental hospital, which will move to UCC’s sports grounds in Curraheen.
