Plans for a new student accommodation facility with 957-bed spaces on the site of a former convent, orphanage and Magdalene laundry in Cork city have been paused following several objections.
An Coimisiún Pleanála has received four separate appeals against the decision of Cork City Council to grant planning permission for 274 student apartments in a large-scale residential development on lands of the former Good Shepherd Convent on Convent Avenue, Sunday’s Well in the north-west of the city.
