Planning given for motorway station in Cork

An Bord Pleanála has granted planning permission for the first motorway service station to be built in Cork county.

Two companies had sought planning to build service stations in north Cork, on the main Dublin route, but only one was given approval.

JR Oronco Ltd succeeded with its proposal for a service station on the M8 at Moorepark West near Fermoy, close to Junction 14.
