NRA wants plan for 1,200 homes to be rejected

Dermot Flanagan, for the NRA, said one of the main reasons an Bord Pleanála refused the Port of Cork permission for a new container terminal at Ringaskiddy was because the extra traffic it would generate would have had a major impact on the already overloaded interchange.

Mr Flanagan said that traffic generated by O’Flynn Construction’s proposal to build a large number of houses at Dunkettle should be viewed in the same light and therefore permission should be refused.
