The planning commission has been tasked once again with deciding on an ambitious housing plan by the Cork County GAA Board, located on a cherished site on the northside of Cork City. 

Plans for more than 300 homes on a more than 15-hectare site on the Old Whitechurch Road, Kilbarry, were approved in 2024 by An Bord Pleanála.
