HSE seeks to have former Blarney Hotel and Golf Resort repurposed as nursing home 

Planning notes: In 2021, the HSE bought the hotel for a reported €3m, a fraction of the €25m spent to build the golf resort

The HSE has applied for retention permission for development works at the former Blarney Hotel and Golf Resort in Cork.

The changes would see the former hotel repurposed as a nursing home.
