Developers have been refused permission to build apartments on the former Bessborough mother and baby home estate in Cork city amid concerns about the possible location of a children’s burial ground on the development site.
An Bord Pleanála has today said it would be premature to grant planning to MWB Two for their 179-unit strategic housing development (SHD) in three apartment blocks on a privately-owned 3.7-acre site in the south-eastern corner of the former estate before establishing the presence, and the extent of, any such burial site.

An Bord Pleanala granting permission to a developer to build an apartment complex on the grounds of a former mother and baby home in Cork would amount to a complete repudiation of Government policy regarding the legacy of such homes, a planning hearing was told on Friday.
Barrister for the Cork Survivors and Supporters Alliance (CSSA), David Dodd BL said that if An Bord Pleanala was to grant planning permission for 179 apartments on a site in the former Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork, it would be contrary to government policy regarding such homes.
