A popular market in East Cork has been forced to temporarily close following legal enforcement from Cork County Council due to a pending planning permission application.

The Boatyard in Cobh said the unforeseen development has had a profound impact on the individual small businesses, staff, and the customers “who have made The Boatyard a part of their routine”.
