Green light for hotel and €80m development

A NEW hotel has been earmarked for one of the country’s fastest-growing satellite towns, while an €80 million housing project is on the cards for one of Cork’s most secluded villages.

The hotel is to be built in Ballincollig while the 265-unit housing scheme has been approved for Glounthaune.

Planners in Cork’s County Hall, meanwhile, have received a number of significant applications in recent days on proposed projects from Banteer to Bandon.
