Sale of land to GAA ‘should benefit entire city’

THE Cork Business Association (CBA) has called on city leaders to ensure that 13 acres of land near Páirc Uí Chaoimh would benefit the entire city if it were sold to the GAA.

“There is a wonderful opportunity now for the GAA and city council to work together with the backing of the people of Cork,” CBA chief executive Donal Healy said.

Mr Gavin told city councillors it would not be in the public interest to sell the full amount of land at the Showgrounds that is sought by the GAA.
