Residents vow to fight Páirc Uí Chaoimh vote

Residents fighting a proposal to rezone land next to Páirc Uí Chaoimh have vowed to pack Cork City Hall tonight and “look councillors in the eye” as they vote.

They are poised to vote on the rezoning of just under seven acres of land next to the GAA grounds which, if agreed, will pave the way for a €40m redevelopment of the stadium.

A simple majority is required. It is expected that the rezoning will get the green light.
