A Cork City councillor is to write to An Bord Pleanála over the decision by a major developer to scrap a proposed apartment tower in the city centre and instead build offices.
Independent councillor Kieran McCarthy was one of many people to voice their disappointment at the decision by the JCD Group, who demolished a much-loved Cork pub to make way for the development.
