Plans for the completion of an aparthotel at a popular Cork beauty spot have been put on hold pending an appeal to An Bord Pleanála. The appeal is by a former hotel owner in a dispute about access to adjoining lands.

The appellant, Denis Calnan, is seeking to overturn the recent decision of Cork County Council to grant permission for the development on the site of a former hotel at Garrettstown beach near the Old Head of Kinsale.
