AN Bord Pleanála has turned down a controversial proposal to rearrange the interior of St Colman’s Cathedral in Cobh, Co Cork.

AT the recent oral hearing into the proposed reordering of St Colman’s Cathedral in Cobh it emerged that there is no liturgical need for the changes.

THE people of Cobh parish have contributed over €1 million to the restoration fund for St Colman’s Cathedral since 1992.
