Cork 14-Day Appeal Window — Strict Timing
Cork City Council operates a strict 14-day appeal window: appeals must be received on or before the 14th day from the FCPN issue date. This is materially shorter than the national 56-day pay/appeal window most appellants assume applies. The narrow Cork window also cuts both ways: where Cork purports to reject an appeal as out-of-time but the receipt date is within 14 days, the rejection is wrong on its face.
Legal basis
