A unique and well-known 18.3-acre site close to Kilkenny City with potential for a variety of different development uses has gone on the market.

The campus known as St Patrick’s was opened in 1966 by the Sisters of Charity in order to provide residential care for children with intellectual disabilities.

Quinn Agnew has unveiled the once-in-a-generation opportunity located 3.5km from Kilkenny City, with ample development options subject to planning permission.

The site presents a unique opportunity to acquire a mixed use complex for a residential centre on a site of approximately 18.3 acres.
