FCA land may rescue Fleming plans

THE army may come to the rescue of one of the country’s biggest builders and developers, Fleming Construction.

It has just advertised the proposed sale of a former FCA/Reserve Defence Force HQ, on Cork’s Douglas Road.

The prime development site, now deemed to be surplus to Department of Defence needs, could provide a key access point for Fleming Construction’s embattled eight-acre (but virtually land-locked) Nemo Rangers former GAA pitches, where the development company’s plans for 82 houses were shot down in August because of access issues.
