Cork planners refuse application to turn home into short-term rental property

City planners said "the lack of supply of long-term private rental housing in Cork city" was a factor in the decision to refuse permission.

Planners at Cork City Council have refused an application to turn a private dwelling into a short-term rental unit.

Frank McCarthy had applied to convert number 60 Annhurst on the Old Blackrock Road in Cork into a short-term rental property.
