Plans for a new public entrance and ambulance set-down bays at Bantry General Hospital have been put on hold after an appeal was lodged with An Bord Pleanála.

Cork County Council had initially given the green light to the development that would also see reconfiguration works, new ambulance and accessible parking, together with the demolition of an existing external ramp.
