Cork County Council has confirmed that its officials have been in discussions with Greencore in connection with the future of the former sugar plant at Mallow.
It is understood Greencore - which yesterday announced plans for a €1.1 billion development of its site in Carlow - is seeking to have its 300-acre site at Mallow rezoned from industrial use to commercial and residential use.
Greencore says it is not prepared to discuss its plans for the site in the public arena.
