The developers linked to the unauthorised demolition of a city building are set to apply for retention of the demolition works in an effort to regularise planning on the site.

The developers of Cork’s first city-sleeper hotel project on MacCurtain Street also signalled their intention to seek planning for the erection of “replacement facades” on the western and southern flanks of the development site on MacCurtain Street.
