Setback for docklands plan

PLANS for a major redevelopment of Cork’s docklands have received a setback due to Government cutbacks.

Cork Chamber of Commerce has criticised news that the Government has deferred the Gateway Innovation Fund until 2010.

The city council had applied to the fund for a new bridge, which it proposed to construct across the River Lee, by Pairc Uí Chaoimh, to provide increased access to the docklands.
