Cork City Council has refused permission for a hotel in the city centre to put its logo higher up the building as it would “contribute to visual clutter” and “set a precedent” for the area.

The Dalata Hotel Group had applied for planning permission to erect new signage for the Maldron Hotel on the South Mall both at ground floor entrance level and another sign near the top of the building.
