Residents of Little Island angry over industrial zone plans

People living in one of the country’s industrial powerhouse areas have said they won’t tolerate having even more of it zoned for industrial purposes.

A meeting held in Little Island, Co Cork last Wednesday, which was attended by around 100 residents, heard that Cork County Council planners want to set aside a total of 350 acres for further industrial/commercial development in the area.

The meeting was chaired by local county councillor Padraig O’Sullivan who wanted to talk locals through the Little Island Local Area Plan, which is a blueprint for future growth in the area.
