Cork GAA club seeks permission to add new facilities to city base 

It wants to erect a prefabricated unit on the lands to be used as a strength and conditioning gym.

It also plans to create a link into its existing main sports hall, and all associated site development works.

The club has seen the likes of Colin Corkery, James Masters and Paul Kerrigan go on to represent the Cork senior football team.

Elsewhere in Cork City, Circle K has been granted permission for works at a forecourt on the Rochestown Road.

The permission has been issued by Cork City Council and includes changes to the garage. The project includes the demolition of the existing forecourt canopy, fuel pump islands, and underground fuel storage tanks.

In their place, it is seeking permission to provide four new fuel pump islands, a new canopy over and link-back to the existing forecourt building, and three new underground fuel storage tanks.

Meanwhile, a pharmaceutical company in Ringaskiddy is seeking permission to expand its Cork operation.

BioMarin International Ltd has lodged a planning application with Cork County Council seeking permission to demolish part of its existing laboratory and existing car park spaces.

The move is to facilitate the construction of a new four-storey laboratory expansion to the south of the existing site buildings, a new entrance canopy, and site works.

It also wants to retain use of a single-storey modular building to the east of the site to be used as a wellness centre.
