A bid to build 42 new homes on the site of an old protected building in one of Cork’s northside’s most historic areas has been turned down by the local authority.
Cork City Council nixed the plan for the former Honan Home in Montenotte, citing that it would “result in detrimental impacts to the special character of this 18th century house”.
