Decision to refuse planning on Bessborough site welcomed by survivors irishtimes.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from irishtimes.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
A CONTROVERSIAL plan to build an eight-storey apartment block on lands at the former Bessborough mother and baby home estate in Cork has been rejected.
The rejection was welcomed by campaigners who opposed development on the Blackrock estate site of what was once Ireland s largest mother and baby home. Campaigners now want the site to be assessed for any remaining undiscovered infant graves – and for those areas to be properly preserved as cemeteries.
Further, campaigners including Catherine Coffey O Brien want a fitting memorial developed on the estate in the shape of a wild flower meadow.
Cork City Council has now ruled against the proposed eight-storey apartment block.
