Clonakilty redevelopment on hold pending EPA decision

THE proposed redevelopment of a key waterfront site in inner Clonakilty Bay has been delayed pending a decision from the Environmental Protection Agency on whether an environmental impact study (EIS) is required.

The delay is also affecting the planned multi-million euro sale of Clonakilty GAA grounds although the club has appointed a design team to proceed with the development of a playing fields site at Aghamilla on the Dunmanway Road.

The GAA club hopes to have four playing pitches completed by 2007 on a new 25-acre site.
