Plans for walkway and viewing platform over Titanic Pier shot down

The planning watchdog has shot down proposals to establish a new walkway at the historic final boarding point for the Titanic.

Last September Titanic Experience Cobh Limited had been granted permission by Cork County Council to erect a pedestrian walkway and viewing platform over the existing Titanic Pier with “sail style canopies”, and to carry out associated conservation works to the original pier structure.
