Plans for the rebuilding of an existing petrol forecourt have been submitted to Cork County Council for the construction of a mixed-use development at Tullyneasky West,

Knockaphonery and Tulligee, Lisavaird, Clonakilty, Co Cork.

The imaginative scheme involves an element of Irish heritage too as internal and external works for the renovation of the remains of the former Lisavaird National School and the change of use of the resulting building from the display and storage of retail goods (principally fuels) to a centre for the display of local heritage items is part of the plan.
