Judicial review of planning for 608-house Glanmire estate to go-ahead

A residents’ association plans to seek a judicial review after Bord Pleanála granted permission for one of the biggest housing developments ever planned in Cork.

Residents living in an estate in Glanmire said they had been “left with no choice” but to seek a judicial review because the proposed development could create a rat run through their area.

Fernwood Residents Group say their concerns, especially for the safety of a large number of young children in the 224-house estate, were largely overlooked when Bord Pleanála decided to grant permission for the O’Flynn Construction project on adjoining land.
