Idle land costing Cork County Council millions

Millions of euro worth of land which Cork County Council was “forced to buy” remains idle, or is being let out to farmers from grazing livestock.

According to Fine Gael Cllr Kevin Murphy, much of this land may never be built on and he has predicted the loan repayments will cripple the council.

Cllr Murphy made his comments after acquiring some reports on the issue from council officials.
