CORK GAA ignored advice from Cork City Council to engage in an additional pre-planning meeting before lodging its unsuccessful planning application to deliver “an iconic sporting venue”, in which it has already invested €100m.

The Council confirmed to the Irish Examiner that due to the scale of the redevelopment being proposed, it had advised Páirc Uí Chaoimh to hold a third pre-planning meeting prior to lodging its application in July 2021.
