Muslims praise Allah as city mosque gets go-ahead

CORK’s Muslim community offered praise to Allah last night after city councillors rezoned land for its first permanent mosque.

The committee of the Cork Muslim Society said they are delighted after they secured the two-thirds majority of council votes needed to rezone a site in an industrial estate on the city’s Tramore Road.

The rezoning will allow the society to build a permanent Islamic centre for the Muslim community in the region.
