A planning application has been lodged with Cork County Council for the construction of potentially the largest padel complex in the country in Youghal, Co Cork.

Local company Eoin Whyte Services Limited is seeking permission for a change of use development from light industry to indoor recreation, including six padel courts, café, reception, seating areas, and changing and toilet facilities on the former Youghal Carpets site at Green’s Quay.
