Top developer to oversee school project

ONE of Ireland’s biggest property developers was given a blank sheet yesterday to draw up plans for a Cork secondary school which closed this year.

Dr John Buckley, Bishop of Cork and Ross, said he has asked Michael O’Flynn, managing director of O’Flynn Construction, to advise him on how St Finbarr’s College in Farranferris could be used in the future.

Mr O’Flynn, a past pupil of the school, is carrying out the work free of charge and in a personal capacity.
