Politicians and planners face off over Mahon development

A major blueprint to guide the development of one of Cork’s busiest IT and retail hubs up to 2031 is in jeopardy because of a standoff between politicians and planners.

Furious city councillors are on a collision course with city management over the draft Mahon Local Area Plan.

Councillors will be asked at this evening’s council meeting to make variations to the city development plan to ensure that the Mahon plan can fit in with it.
