GAA 'must deal with outstanding issues' before more Páirc Uí Chaoimh development

A dispute over a condition of planning for the stadium revamp, relating to special contribution charges for street lighting upgrades, has been referred to An Bórd Pleanála for a ruling.

The GAA must deal with outstanding issues linked to the €100m revamp of Cork’s Páirc Uí Chaoimh before further development of the stadium site is considered.

That was the view of several city councillors on Tuesday following confirmation that a dispute over a condition of planning for the stadium revamp, relating to special contribution charges for street lighting upgrades, has been referred to An Bórd Pleanála for a ruling – more than seven years since planning was granted.
