Friends of cathedral claim to be snubbed by council

THE Friends of St Colman’s Cathedral have accused Cork County Council of packing a conference with speakers who supported the controversial reordering of the cathedral in Cobh.

They have also criticised the local authority for not allowing representatives from their organisation to address the Place of Worship: Planning and Heritage Conference which will take place at the Oriel House Hotel, Ballincollig next Friday.

Friends of St Colman’s Cathedral (FOSCC) spokesman Adrian O’Donovan criticised the county council for “not adopting a neutral position”.
