Divisive gaelscoil project hit with fresh planning difficulty

PLANS for a new gaelscoil which have split a community on Cork’s northside have been hit with another planning difficulty.

City manager Joe Gavin told councillors last night that the amount of land at the Tank Field earmarked for the construction of a new Gaelscoil an Gort Alainn building has to be reduced.

If the project proceeded as planned, it would have meant that Brian Dillon GAA club pitches due to be built on the rest of the Tank Field would have had goalposts located under high tension electricity wires.
