UCC to resubmit plans for outreach centre

UCC bosses are to resubmit plans for a multi-million euro 200-student outreach centre at the Mardyke, despite their shock at having the project turned down by An Bord Pleanála.

A spokesman for the university said the decision came as quite a surprise, especially as the board of An Bord Pleanála had overturned its inspector’s report, which had been in favour of the project.

Cork County Cricket Club, whose grounds are adjacent to the proposed centre, were the only objectors.
