McCarthy: Summer 2018 slated for Tramore Valley Park Opening

 

     Independent Cllr Kieran McCarthy has welcomed the response of the Director of Recreation and Environment of Cork City Council David Joyce that Tramore Valley Park is on track to open to the public in the summer of 2018. In reply to a question at the last City Council meeting by Cllr McCarthy, Mr Joyce outlined that there are several health and safely concerns that need to be resolved before the site opens to the public.

    Cllr McCarthy has remained consistent in lobbying to get the park open; he noted; “vast amounts of public money has been invested to transform this former landfill into a c.160 acre public park. An extra allocation of funding within the City Council’s 2018 budget has allowed for the opening of the park. I remain committed to putting pressure on the officials to open this significant park area, which will serve all of the city and beyond its boundaries”.
