Starbucks ordered to remove signage from Cork building

A Starbucks coffee shop has been given two months to remove signs from the 300-year-old building where it opened without planning permission in Cork city centre.

The requirement is a condition attached to planning approval given this week, from Cork City Council, to the outlet on Emmet Place.

An Bord Pleanála said last March the use of this and two other city properties as Starbucks outlets required planning permission.
