Upgraded N28 not good for Ringaskiddy

Your report (July 15), suggests that Cllr Seamus McGrath of Fianna Fáil (and others), seem to be of the opinion that the Port of Cork’s container development plan for Ringaskiddy would be in order if the upgrade of the N28 was in place.

May I inform the councillor, and his political colleagues, that this development within the village of Ringaskiddy was rejected in 2008 by An Bord Pleanála (case reference PL04 PA0003). Nothing has changed.

There will never be a railhead facility at Ringaskiddy unless a very substantial portion of Cork City is demolished, levelled to the ground, coupled with enormous funding so that it can join an existing rail line.
