Plan unveiled for county’s first 24-hour motorway service hub

An application for planning permission has been lodged for the first 24-hour motorway service station in Co Cork, which if approved will lead up to 100 full-time jobs being created.

The application has just been lodged with Cork County Council for a €5m development adjacent to the M8’s junction 14, north of Fermoy in North Cork, and it is being backed by the AA.

The service area will be accessible from both sides of the motorway near the Moorepark agricultural research facility.
