Developer Michael O’Flynn calls for unified local authority in Cork

Development will stagnate while proposed city boundary extension is implemented, says O’Flynn.

One of the country’s leading developers says he fears Cork will stagnate while the city’s proposed boundary extension is implemented and the only solution for sustained growth lies in the creation of one unified local authority.

Developer Michael O’Flynn made his comments at a county council Planning Policy SPC (Special Purposes Committee) meeting held behind closed doors in County Hall earlier this week and some county councillors have backed his stance.
