Anger at Cork council’s refusal to permit ferry stops

CORK City Council has been accused of having “no joined up thinking” on future transportation, after refusing permission for two pick-up points on a proposed €30 million commuter ferry route.

A number of county councillors reacted angrily to the news, especially as their local authority had already granted planning permission for a number of pick up points in Cork harbour for the Harbour Cats ferry project.

Cllr Tim Lombard (FG) said yesterday he was “very disappointed” with the news and claimed the city council “wasn’t capable of joined up thinking.”
