Councillors oppose plans for park and ride facility

POLITICIANS have united to fight controversial plans to build Cork’s second park and ride facility on a greenfield site on the city’s northside.

Five city councillors have followed previous calls by two northside TDs Bernard Allen (FG) and Noel O'Flynn (FF) to scrap council plans to build the facility on the Tinkers Cross site in Mayfield.

The country's first park and ride facility was developed at Black Ash off the Kinsale Road roundabout just over three years ago.
