Business group eyes legal options over city plan

One of Munster’s largest business associations is prepared to take High Court action to block the proposed extension of Cork City boundary.

Little Island Business Association (LIBA), which represents around 1,000 small, medium and large businesses, has confirmed it has sought legal advice from a senior counsel about how it could prevent such a move.

LIBA chief executive Michael Mulcahy said his members were against a takeover of their area by Cork City Council should the Mackinnon Report be implemented and are prepared to fight it “tooth and nail”.
