Councillors set for U-turn on controversial rezoning
A motion calling for the rezoning of former sports pitches on the grounds of Farranferris College in Cork was submitted to the city council yesterday.
The rezoning is crucial to secure the €50 million redevelopment of the former seminary as an educational campus to tackle social deprivation in the northside, councillors said. But it comes just months after they voted against rezoning a portion of the Tank Field, also zoned for sports, which would have facilitated the construction of a new school for Gaelscoil an Ghoirt Álainn in Montenotte.
