The operators of Cork Airport have expressed amazement at the decision of Cork County Council to grant planning permission for a new house less than 400 metres from the end of its main runway.

The daa, which runs Cork Airport, has appealed An Bord Pleanála's decision to sanction the construction of a new single-storey house close to the airport’s perimeter at Rathdermot, Lios Cross, Ballygarvan, Co Cork.
