Residents offered hope over park

RESIDENTS who fear their cherished park could be snapped up by developers were offered some hope last night.

Cork city manager Joe Gavin said the fact that green in the western suburb of Bishopstown has been used as a public park for almost 40 years would stand to them.

Householders from the Bishopscourt estate are due to meet this evening to discuss the shock sale of the almost 1.6 acre park.
