Marina plans skewed in favour of GAA, say residents

Plans for a massive public park in Cork City, which will wrap around the Páirc Uí Chaoimh, are skewed in favour of the GAA, residents have claimed.

The Save Marina Park group, which represents hundreds of people living in the suburban areas near the stadium, criticised the Marina Park masterplan after examining the draft proposals, which were unveiled last week.

The plan has incorporated Cork County Board’s decision to develop an all-weather pitch next to the GAA stadium, which is also poised for a €67m regeneration.
