Cork council puts brakes on unauthorised car park after bizarre planning situation

An unauthorised car park in Cork’s tech jobs hub will shut down within days after a bizarre planning situation which saw a local authority initiate an enforcement action against itself.

Cork City Council confirmed yesterday it has formally terminated a licence arrangement with the occupiers of the city council-owned site in Mahon.

While the notice gave the occupiers several weeks to vacate, it is understood arrangements were already in train to vacate before the notice was issued.
