Sky Garden council to spend €50k on another garden project

THE local authority overseeing the controversial Irish Sky Garden is under fire again over plans to spend €50,000 on another garden.

Cork city councillors will receive a report next Monday which outlines plans to contribute €50,000 towards the development of a Chinese garden and cultural building, in association with University College Cork and its Confucius Institute.

Lord Mayor Cllr Terry Shannon, who leads a high-powered delegation to China over the next week, will meet potential partners during the visit to discuss the project.
