GAA club probed over illegal car park

A GAA club is at the centre of a planning probe over the alleged unauthorised use of its grounds as a car park for office workers in Cork’s tech hub.

However, St Michael’s Gaelic Football club said the parking is occurring as one of “a number of privileges” allowed to one of its sponsors. The Mahon club believes it isn’t a breach of its sporting licence granted by Cork City Council.

The matter has been referred to the council’s legal department.
