Fast-tracked student accommodation in Limerick refused planning following appeal

Fast-tracked student accommodation in Limerick has been refused planning following an appeal to An Bord Pleanála due to affect the multi-million euro development might have had on the River Shannon's water quality.

Submitted as a Strategic Housing Development (SID), the proposed development at Punches Cross in Limerick city would have seen more than 325 student beds created close to Mary Immaculate College (MIC) should it have received the go-ahead.
