Plans for the former Roches Stores Debenhams site on Patrick Street Cork - proposed facade

Cork City Council has approved plans for the former Roches Stores building on St Patrick's Street to be split into several retail units, clearing the way for it to return to full occupancy following the sudden closure of Debenhams in 2020.

Under new plans greenlit by City Hall, the landmark building will have four separate retail units.
