Planning applications near new M20 face seven-month wait

Fine Gael councillor Liam Madden told a meeting of Cork County Council's Northern Division that Dairygold is planning a huge development on the west side of Mallow.

Several householders and businesses applying for planning permission within the widened route corridor of the proposed Cork – Limerick (M20) motorway will have to wait up to seven months before they'll know if they will get the green light or not.

However, there's some good news for people living in Kanturk as work is to start shortly there on the construction of an inner relief road.
