Work on Bishopstown credit union site halted over Dunnes stand-off

Work on one of country’s most expensive credit union headquarters has ground to a halt in a stand-off with Dunnes Stores.

Bishopstown Credit Union (BCU) in Cork City has now triggered legal action in a bid to resolve the impasse which has delayed the development of a new €4.1m headquarters on the Curraheen Rd.

BCU went to Cork District Court yesterday to apply for an order of works in a bid to resume work on the site of the former Viscount Bar. The matter has been deferred for a week.
