The already delayed €6m public realm upgrade of historic quays in Cork’s Morrison’s Island area is facing another legal challenge.

Save Cork City (SCC) Community Association Ltd, the main opponents of the city’s €150m flood defence project, have applied for a judicial review of An Bórd Pleanála’s decision in June to approve the Morrison’s Island public realm and flood defence project.
