Report for Kildare Village-type development in East Cork postponed

Cork County Council has been given more time to outline why its councillors and officials support a proposed €100m retail development, which the country’s planning watchdog has objected to.

The Irish Examiner understands that Council officials were already in the process of preparing a case in support of the Kildare Village-type development in East Cork. But they needed the agreement of councillors to send such a report to Damien English, the minister for state for housing and urban development, who will have the final say on whether it will proceed or not.
