Nothing to fear from inquiry, city council told

CORK’S city manager said City Hall has nothing to fear after submitting a detailed report on foot of a planning probe announced by Environment Minister John Gormley.

Joe Gavin said it has always been his policy that officials should be as “open and transparent” as possible in dealings with the public.

And Mr Gavin told councillors, this week, his officials are “competent, committed and loyal” and have always worked for, and on behalf of the city, with “absolute integrity”.
