Resident objects to plan for Cork city centre hotel

Plans for a large budget hotel in Cork city centre have been put on hold following an objection by a local resident.

An appeal has been lodged with An Bord Pleanála against the recent decision of Cork City Council to grant planning permission to a Dublin-based development firm, Tetrarch Capital, for a 162-bedroom hotel on a site bounded by Parnell Place, Deane St, and Lower Oliver Plunkett St.
