Council raises concerns over Páirc Uí Chaoimh traffic

Cork City Council has contacted Cork GAA County Board to air its concerns about the traffic and parking arrangements at the redeveloped Páirc Uí Chaoimh, following the first game at the redeveloped stadium on Wednesday night.

The move comes ahead of tomorrow’s All-Ireland hurling quarter-final between Clare and Tipperary — the first senior inter-county tie to be held at the venue — while Waterford face Wexford there on Sunday.

The 10,749 attendees who took in the Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship tie between Blarney and Valley Rovers amounted to less than a quarter of the stadium’s capacity, yet the fixture still resulted in complaints from local residents and commuters.
