School plan for extra classrooms refused

A building to provide extra classrooms at a southside Cork girls’ secondary school has been refused planning permission by An Bord Pleanála.

Regina Mundi College in Douglas wanted to provide three extra classrooms and a dedicated resource teaching room in the development, for which approval was received by the city council in July.

But that decision was the subject of two third-party appeals, which have now been upheld by the board.
