A planning application has been lodged for a long-vacant site in Cork city to include new residential accommodation and an artisan food market.

The former Dennehy's Cross Garage is located close to the Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit at the junction of Magazine Road, Wilton Road, Victoria Cross Road and Model Farm Road and is to be redeveloped into a four-storey apartment complex if permission is approved.
