๐ The DAA have seemingly granted requests by the CAA and others to provide air-bridges at Cork’s new airport terminal. The bridges had been cast in doubt after penny-pinching exercises by the DAA and Dept. of Transport. However only 2 of the originally planned 3 bridges will be provided – allowing for a saving of just under 400,000euro (wow! :rolleyes: ) Provision was made in the airport design to facilitate a northern extension (pier) home to 3 additional bridges subject to demand and airport capacities – but this Phase 2 element is not on the cards for the forseeable future. The 2 bridges will be secured for the interm, with an option by CAA to purchase the 3rd bridge at a future point from its own funding. Though it’s not what was promised, its a small victory, and it represents what was undoubtedly an uphill struggle for CAA Chairman Joe Gantly, so well done sir.
๐ฎ Paul Montgomery has been granted his application to let apartments at his Victoria Mills development on a short-term summer residiency basis. Each apartment will be let individually. Phase 2 of Victoria Mills will commence primary construction in late May/early June – after UCC Summer Exams.
And I know I promised some info and images on the Capitol Cineplex’s redevelopment – but I’m dying sick at the moment and will get around to it as soon as I’m able. Curse the flu virus! I dunno how I got it, I haven’t been hanging around any WHO supported labs. ๐
