Plans for a large new multi-storey apartment block and artisan food market on the site of a former car dealership in Cork City have been put on hold following an objection by local residents.

An appeal has been lodged with An Bord Pleanála against the recent decision of Cork City Council to grant planning permission for the redevelopment of the long-vacant site of the former Dennehy’s Cross Garage on Model Farm Road.
