Hurling legend Seán Óg Ó hAilpín has been scuppered in his bid to build a new four-storey home in Cork.

The All-Ireland winner and his wife Siobhan Quirke had hoped to build a new home just outside Inishannon, but they have been blocked by Cork County Council planners amid fears the "proposal would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard."
