Development In Castlemartyr Hamstrung
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
Councillor Danielle
Twomey is urging Irish Wa- ter to upgrade Castlemar- tyr’s wastewater and public drinking systems as soon as possible. The Sinn Féin Cllr made her comments after plans for hundreds of homes in Castlemartyr were refused by Cork County Council, as the public water supply and sewage infrastructure in the village is considered inadequate. An application for 209
homes comprising of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom proper- ties linking to the existing Gortnahomna
Estate was
lodged last April by Solas Partnership.
The outline planning in-
cluded pedestrian links into the existing Gortnahomna More estate, a kick about pitch, crèche, and a mul- ti-use games area including four local play areas. Cllr Twomey
told this
week’s Southern Commit- tee meeting in Cork Coun- ty Hall that development in the village is on hold until new efficiencies in the wastewater treatment
sys-
tem are installed. She said both Irish Water and Cork County Council have a duty to work togeth- er to “deliver much needed housing” for the region. Ms Twomey added “Res-
idents have been waiting a very long time for upgrades of the wastewater plant.

strumming this weekend, the Great Island promises to be as tropical as the real thing. From tomorrow, Fri-
day 25 May to Sunday 27 May, the Harbour Town will host its third Ukulele Festival, which is proving to be a Worldwide musi-
cal marathon with various artists performing at sever- al locations. This year

by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
A decision on contro-
versial plans to locate an incinerator in Cork Har- bour is due within days. An Bord Pleanála
to say
a decision on Indaver’s application to build a 240,000 tonne waste energy facility in
Rin-
gaskiddy is due by next Thursday, 31 May 2018. According to the Plan-
ning Authority there is a possibility
that a judge-
ment will be made today, Thursday 24 May. However, the spokesper- son has stated that there is a possibility the decision could roll over for a record eleventh time although the Bord has specified it is ea-
ger to make a decision be- fore the end of the month. The €160 million pro- remains one of the
ject
most contentious issues in the Lower Harbour com- munities. This is the third appli-
cation attempt by Indaver Ireland to have their in- cinerator located close to the Irish Marine Energy Cluster and the National Maritime College. An Bord Pleanála re- than 260
ceived more
submissions from individ- ual residents and organisa- tions around the Harbour opposing the
develop-
ment, with many claiming it would pose an environ- mental and health risk.
