Plans for over 200 new student bed spaces near the University of Limerick have been put on hold after locals lodged an objection with An Bord Pleanála.

Limerick City and County Council had last month approved the large-scale residential development on the Old Dublin Road in Rhebogue in the city, which includes 202 student beds across 26 apartments in the five-storey development.
