Cork's 'Kildare Village' project dealt planning blow

A €100 million Cork Tourist Outlet Village is proposed for the Carrigtwohill area.

Efforts to develop a Kildare Village-style outlet on the outskirts of Cork City have been dealt a blow after the Minister for Housing Local Government and Heritage intervened in a planning row.

Peter Burke has directed that a variation to the 2014 Cork county development plan be deleted, saying it was "inconsistent" with the guidelines published in 2012.
