Developers have proposed that no development should take place over any children s burial ground with human remains in situ at the former Mother and Baby Home at Bessborough, Co Cork, where it is planned that 179 apartments be built.
The barrister for developer MWB Two Ltd made the proposal, one of a number conditions suggested in a submission to the oral hearing by An Bord Pleanála, which reconvened today.
David Holland SC for the developer circulated two documents at the hearing. These included a memo with their proposals for planning conditions and a document on an aerial photograph.
Mr Holland outlined these changes. He said they wanted to provide some form of memorialisation but said that they did not want to impose their view.
