Plans for a new cancer support drop-in centre in Youghal, Co Cork, have been put on hold following objections from local residents.

Several parties including the Strand Street and the Mall Residents’ Committee have lodged an appeal with An Bord Pleanála against the recent decision of Cork County Council to grant permission for the demolition of the existing two-storey Youghal Cancer Support Centre on Friar St in the east Cork town.
