The operators of Marina Market were “surprised” to have planning permission for the popular venue turned down by Cork City Council late last year, given the “overwhelming” public support for the docklands amenity.

In its fresh planning application to the council aiming to secure the market’s future, planners on behalf of CPR Properties said that Marina Market had become a “Cork phenomenon” that the “people of the city have taken to their hearts” in the two years of its operation.
