A challenge by Cork County Council over a ministerial direction to annul a change to its development plan providing for a €100m retail outlet centre in the east of the county will be heard in the autumn.

The challenge, to be heard in the High Court's Strategic Infrastructure Development (SID) list, relates to a variation of the current plan made by councillors last year and supported by the council CEO Tim Lucey.
