Plans for a combined total of 220 homes, a hotel, supermarket and offices on separate sites near the world-famous Blarney Castle in Cork have been shot down.

An Bórd Pleanála has refused planning to Eoin Sheehan for a 150-unit strategic housing development on a green-field site at Monacnappa in Blarney, just north of the Kilowen Rd, amid concerns over residential density.
