The future of Cork city and county could be undermined by politics

Having read your excellent balanced article on the city and county council mergers I note that Fianna Fáil deputy, Michael McGrath has no desire to see Cork become an ‘urban sprawl at the expense of an identifiable city centre core’.

I think other well-known Fianna Fáil TDs may have expressed a similar desire many years ago.

Developer Michael O’Flynn is a visionary in my view, despite some people’s view of the Elysian tower in the city centre. He is passionate in his views for the future of Cork city and county.
