Re: Re: developments in cork

By T. Barker IE 31-12-05.. Fleming Construction ventured to Dublin and spent €165 million on an eight-acre site at Sandyford, and in Cork they forged ahead at Fota, with a new hotel nearly built and holiday homes in the wooded estate grounds. For good measure, they splashed out €18 million on amenity land by Bishopstown, which will prove a shrewd buy and can help them re-locate city sports clubs from prime urban site. They will lodge for planning for the Nemo Rangers site in Douglas any day now, for high-end housing.

Bishopstown GAA (Jerry Buttimer, P.M. Vic M) and Highfield RFC to re-locate to the sticks ??, 2006 will indeed be an interesting year….
