Hotel plan inspires cathedral concerns

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / August 30 2004: Hotel plan inspires cathedral concerns

Property tycoon Owen O'Callaghan announced plans earlier this summer to demolish Jury's Hotel on the Western Road and to develop a new 185-bed hotel, 300 apartments, and underground parking facilities on the site. However, residents in the Sunday's Well area of Cork have lodged a formal objection to the proposed redevelopment on grounds that it could obstruct their view of the landmark structure of St Fin Barre's Cathedral.
