The Laura Lynn Children's Hospice is to establish an on-the-ground presence in Cork.
The charity, which is Ireland's only children's hospice and helps to provide palliative care for children, says it hopes to begin administering care and supports to some families in Cork before Christmas, while aiming to be fully operational in 2022.
The hospice, which marked its 10th anniversary yesterday, says that the opening of a satellite service in Cork will bring services closer to children in the Munster region.
