Mayfield school project on hold over site

Work on a new building for a gaelscoil on Cork’s northside is still awaiting the transfer of the controversial site for its construction from the city council.

Planning permission was granted in 2011 for a 16-classroom school for Gaelscoil an Ghoirt Álainn at the Tank Field in Mayfield.

The plans had been the subject of significant local opposition to the loss of public access to part of the open space to facilitate the project.
