Engineers, the


project, told Cllrs on Mon- day 2 July that significant changes have been made to the original plan. “Flood modelling has


predicted that flood levels will drop by over a metre and a half in extreme flood events, in comparison to the current situation” commented Mr Hegarty. The proposed develop- ment includes a new cul-


vert to divert the existing stream to allow for


the


development, and improve flows through the site and avoid flooding. The new channel will


bypass an undersized cul- vert that runs under the Banshane


road towards


the back of the Gaelscoil. It is also proposed to


leave a portion of low ly- ing lands adjoining the site which are in Cork County Council’s ownership to flood in extreme events. A new pumping station will be provided for further drainage and has already been


agreed Water. with Irish


umes, the Consultant En- gineer said “while


Regarding traffic vol- there


are some capacity issues at peak times regarding the Gaelscoil found [the devel- opment] had a net positive impact on traffic as it was a reduction on the previous- ly granted 74 houses.” Many Cllrs disagreed,


stating the flyover and slip road onto the N25 is currently a death-trap in the mornings, which the proposed developed would just exacerbate. They said consideration


must be given to upgrad- ing the link to the N25 if the scheme is to go ahead.


Municipal Executive


Officer Joe McCarthy said while he agreed with the Cllrs they “can’t be load- ing the housing directorate with roads issues, and par- ticularly a TII issue.” He said it was an issue


which the Local Authority should be fighting sepa- rately.


Based on demand, over 1000 new social houses are needed for homeless people in the East Cork Municipal district,


with


853 people expressing an interest in living in Mid- leton and 356 requesting Youghal as their area of preference.
