Facility to be built on seven acre greenfield site at Clonroadmore at St Flannan’s College despite opposition from teaching staff
The HSE lodged the planning application after the Diocese of Killaloe agreed to sell the church owned lands to the HSE for the hospital.
The planner’s report states that “from a planning perspective, the proposed development complies with the zoning objective and the applicants have submitted a sufficient rationale for the site selection”. The report states that “any further consents that may have to be obtained are essentially a subsequent matter and outside the scope of this planning application”.
In their objection, the staff told the council that the hospital proposal “will have a seriously negative impact on the student population of St Flannan’s College”. They further stated that “the greenfield site at St Flannan’s College is the last remaining of its kind in Ennis. Urban sprawl is taking up much more of our green spaces each year. Once built, this land will be gone forever.”
