Bord Pleanála to decide on 194-bed student building for Cork village

Ringaskiddy residents insist project is 'wholly unacceptable' for the area.

The proposed 194-bed accommodation development in Ringaskiddy is intended for students of the  National Maritime College.

Plans for a 194-bed student development in Ringaskiddy have been appealed to An Bord Pleanála, with local residents insisting the project is “wholly inappropriate” for the area.

An application for planning permission was first lodged last April by Patrick Byrne for the halls of residence at Rose Lodge on Main Street, Loughbeg, Ringaskiddy.
