Warning over plan to rezone for housing

CORK County Council has been warned it should be very careful about rezoning any more land on the northern side of Cork city for residential development.

The local authority has planned to increase the population in the Blarney/Glanmire areas by around 21,000 by 2020.

However, according to Cllr John Gilroy (Lab), the council has already rezoned enough land in that area to build 21,000 homes.
