Michael O’Flynn: We’ll build 1,300 homes in Cork suburb in 10 years

One of Ireland’s most successful developers says he hopes to build around 1,300 new homes in a Cork suburb within the next 10 years.

Michael O’Flynn said he welcomed news that the Fernwood Residents’ Association had decided not to seek a judicial review against An Bord Pleanála’s decision to grant permission for around 600 homes at Ballinglanna, Glanmire. He said this would enable him to shortly proceed with one of two major projects he has planned for the Glanmire area.

The residents were concerned that part of the plan involved opening a through-road between that development and their estate.
