County Development Plan

Yesterday, Thursday 18th members of the community council met to discuss the upcoming county development plan, and how it relates to Killeagh and Inch.

Following the meeting we are preparing submissions to Cork County Council on a number of points. Please feel free to comment on what's below by emailing killeaghinch@gmail.com

We will make our official submission next week.

Following is an outline of the points we will make towards the County Development Plan.

1. The water supply to Killeagh Village is inadequate. This issue has been raised a number of times with Cork County Council and in the Dáil.
2. The graveyard on the Cork Road is nearly at capacity. We are looking for the provision of a new graveyard.
3. The old development plan allows for the development of a second primary school on the Cork Road. Keep this in the plans.
4. Parts of Killeagh Village are an Architectural Conservation Area. We would like to see some structures listed as protected structures.
5. Maintain the existing zonings at Inch, Ballymackibbot (the area around Inch Primary School) and Mt. Uniake. (Current zoning is as a Village Nucleus)
6. Revise the speed limits for Mt. Uniake and Ballymackibbot.
7. In the long term there is a bypass planned of Killeagh and Castlemartyr. We would like the route for the bypass made public and access points for the village clarified.
8. Look at the long-term feasibility of re-opening the railway to Youghal, with a stop in Killeagh.
