‘Sectional interests’ put ahead of public in school planning decision
Cllr Tim Brosnan made his remarks in an appeal to An Bord Pleanála, asking it to uphold the recent vote of Cork City Council not to rezone part of the Tank Field in Mayfield for a 16-classroom school. He wrote that the last time the case was up for decision, the planning inspector who reviewed the case, councillors and the Cork city development plan were overridden by the board.
In 2007, the first application for the new building for Gaelscoil an Ghoirt Álainn did not give enough votes from councillors to change the zoning of the field from sports use and allow the project proceed.
