A pilot project may be undertaken to allow outdoor dining in Mallow Town Park and also at a laneway in the town, which is adjacent to four restaurants.

A meeting of the Kanturk/Mallow Municipal District Council heard a request from local businessman and Fianna Fáil councillor Pat Hayes to aid the restaurants as Covid-19 restrictions ease and outdoor dining kicks off.
