Two large-scale apartment projects to cater for more than 550 students have been given the go-ahead for locations near third-level colleges in Cork and Limerick. 

A new complex for almost 250 students will be developed on the site of Kelleher's Auto Centre in Victoria Cross, Cork, following the decision by An Bord Pleanála to grant planning permission to Bellmount Developments.
