The €12.5m development of a new school building at Christian Brothers College (CBC) Cork can proceed after An Bord Pleanála rejected an appeal by two objectors to the plans.

The board upheld the decision of Cork City Council to grant permission for a new five-storey building on CBC’s campus at Sidney Hill on the city’s northside.
