The planning commission has been tasked once again with deciding on an ambitious housing plan by the Cork County GAA Board, located on a cherished site on the northside of Cork City.
Plans for more than 300 homes on a more than 15-hectare site on the Old Whitechurch Road, Kilbarry, were approved in 2024 by An Bord Pleanála.
It was anticipated at the time that the landbank, which was bought by the county board in the 1960s to develop playing fields, would be sold with planning in place for 319 homes, a créche and a riverside park to reduce its €30m debt.
