“While we’re obviously pleased that permission has been granted by Cork City Council, we are not in a position to comment further until we have sight of the decision in detail.” Independent councilor and former Lord Mayor, Mick Finn welcomed the grant of conditional planning saying that the redevelopment of the South Docks is “one of several transformative projects that will move Cork forward”. In a statement to The Echo, a spokesperson for O’Callaghan Properties said:

Last December, O’Callaghan Properties, through Leeside Quays Ltd, lodged a planning application with Cork City Council seeking 10-year planning permission for a mixed-use development comprising four new buildings and the conversion of the long-idle Odlums building as well as a separate planning application with the council seeking 10-year planning permission for a proposed rehabilitation hospital, all within the city’s South Docklands.Ĭork City Council has now approved both applications, subject to a number of conditions which have yet to be published.

PLANS for the ambitious redevelopment of Cork city’s South Docks have been granted conditional planning permission, ushering in “a new era for Cork”.
