Thing is, that last 100m of Boreenmanna Road is a mess during the morning rush hour as it is, and providing access for 100+ apartments on top of that isn't exactly going to help.

All we need is Mr Fried Chicken to be accommodated for an angle shoot to lower his rates or the Mayor of Douglas to remind us all that he's alright jack and in that case we need to stop the M28. I'd love to see something that tackles broad strategies and their implications. Can we get an overview of CMATS and how it will interact with ongoing and future developments. An update on Cork Airport would be great, something where they discuss future routes and current difficulties. I know Eoin English is going to do something on the Event Centre again but I'd love a detailed article on the other staled projects that we rarely hear about like the Mahon Tower, Sullivan's Quay (we know the pile of rubble is awful but what is stopping this being built), the Victoria Hotel, both Metropole developments, Wilton SC, the Nemo Accommodation, the Square Deal, Penny's and on and on and on...
