Proposal to build apartments by Cork's Blackrock hurling club shot down by council

A proposal to rezone sports land for an apartments scheme planned by a well-known Cork hurling club has been shot down.

City councillors voted 26-1 against the material contravention of the city development which would have facilitated the 30-unit scheme proposed by Blackrock National Hurling Club on a site off Cherry Lawn, Church Road, in Blackrock, on the southside of the city.
