County council ‘does have planning permission for offices’

THE country’s busiest planning authority does after all have planning permission for its offices, the local authority responsible for the area confirmed yesterday.

Cork City Council was responding to a report in the Irish Times which claimed neighbouring local authority, Cork County Council, did not have specific planning permission for its planning office which is within the city precincts.

Cork County Council's planning department moved to a new premises two years ago occupying the old Liebert factory on the Model Farm Road.
