Options to minimise Cork parking spot losses

New options to minimise the loss of Cork city centre parking spaces have been drafted in a bid to secure delivery of a €6m revamp of a historic quay.

One option for the implementation of the Morrison’s Island scheme, which aims to integrate the city’s first flood defences with a significant public realm upgrade, will cost more and cause more disruption, warn officials.

The options, outlined in an internal report for city councillors, have emerged following a massive response from the public to the scheme’s Part 8 planning process.
