Council anger as city lane gets renamed

CONCERNS were raised last night about how one of the country’s biggest developers was allowed to rename one of Cork’s historic lanes.

Cllr Sean Martin (FF) raised the issue with city manager Joe Gavin just days after Owen O’Callaghan unveiled his €600 million shopping precinct.

The development on the site of the old Irish Examiner building on Academy Street and the former Johnson & Perrott garage on Emmet Place has been hailed as a major boost to the city centre.&
