Plans for apartment block on site of former Cork pub put on hold

Plans for the development of an apartment complex on the site of a well-known former pub in Cork city have been put on hold following objections over its scale and lack of parking facilities.

An independent councillor and local dentist have appealed the recent decision of Cork City Council to grant planning permission to developer, Denis McBarron, for the demolition of the Glenanaar pub in Ballinlough to pave the way for the development of two, four-storey blocks containing 26 apartments.
