Council gives green light for 96-berth marina in Kinsale

CORK County Council has granted permission for a 96-berth marina in Kinsale and a controversial quarry in Carrigtwohill. However, objections have been made to An Board Pleanála about hundreds of houses earmarked for Bandon.

Council planning chiefs have given the green light to Paul Kingston to develop the large marina and administration buildings at Castlepark, Kinsale.

Healy Brothers Ltd have been granted permission to extract sand, gravel and limestone from a quarry at Rossmore, Carrigtwohill, despite local objections. It is expected that objectors will now lodge an appeal with An Bord Pleanála.
