Bishopsgrove General Information

Bishopsgrove Supported Student Accommodation is a unique shared student accommodation service, owned and managed by Cork City Council, through its Cork Foyer Project, and in partnership with TUSLA Aftercare Service, Liberty Street out of Home Service and Focus Ireland. The aim of the project is to provide a safe and supported environment for students in their move towards independence and their journey through education.

Set in a leafy, gated complex, Bishopsgrove comprises 39 modern and secure purpose built student accommodation units close to the Cork Institute of Technology. Bishopsgrove provides all the high quality amenities expected of a modern student accommodation complex, but in addition, every student will have access to a Key/Social Worker to support them from the day they move in through to their successful resettlement during or after their studies.
