Plan to sell controversial site halted by furious councillors

FURIOUS councillors halted a controversial land sale last night after learning about it first in this newspaper.

Cork’s city councillors accused city management of a “breach of trust” and claimed they were kept in the dark about the city council’s proposals to sell the site at Deanrock in Togher.

The Irish Examiner reported last week the council planned to sell by tender the former site of 108 “eyesore” apartments that were demolished in 2007.
