A developer has been granted planning permission for more than 100 apartments at the site of the former Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork.
Earlier this year, developer Estuary View Enterprises was granted planning permission by Cork City Council to build 140 apartments at the site.
However, the Bessborough Mother and Baby Home Support Group and Cllr Peter Horgan of the Labour Party lodged appeals with An Coimisiún Pleanála.
On Thursday the commission upheld permission for 106 apartments. One apartment block has been removed from the plans after the appeals body said it would adversely affect the historic landscape and the setting of Bessborough House, which is a protected structure.
