An Taisce defends park from GAA plan

Heritage group An Taisce has urged Cork City Council to ensure a public park is not split in two by a new GAA facility.

It wants City Hall to redraw a so-called masterplan for Cork’s Marina Park to ensure the existing amenity is not divided by a proposed centre of excellence at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

“An Taisce has no objections to the planned revamp and development of the GAA’s facilities and supports the initiative,” said Cork-based Kevin Connolly.
