Judicial review may be sought if project gets go-ahead

THE people of a north Cork town were urged yesterday to seek a judicial review if a developer is granted permission to build 73 houses and a 100-bedroom hotel.

Solicitor Edna English told a meeting held in her home town of Fermoy yesterday, that councillors who are to vote next week on rezoning land for the development should realise its importance as a green space.

Cork city-based Lawton Developments hope to carry out the project adjacent to Fermoy town park and the River Blackwater.
