Gavin seeks meeting with council after refusal

GARDEN design guru Diarmuid Gavin is digging his heels in after being refused a meeting with Cork’s city councillors to discuss the controversy over his €2.3 million Irish Sky Garden.

The celebrity gardener said he is “extremely disappointed” at their decision and has again requested the meeting take place.

And he said decisions on the redesigning and rebuilding of the garden in the city’s Fitzgerald Park which have been announced to the press “seem grossly flawed”.
