Moves to rezone Cork rugby grounds

EFFORTS to secure the rezoning of one of Cork’s great rugby grounds for development have kicked off.

Representatives of Cork Constitution, including former Irish international Donal Lenihan and officials representing developer Owen O’Callaghan, have briefed several city councillors on their joint proposals for the club’s Temple Hill site.

They want councillors to rezone the eight-acre sports ground for development which would in turn facilitate the club’s move to a new site in Douglas.
