Residents Of The Lough Concerned Over Future Of The Community
Residents from The Lough say the future of their community is at stake following the publication of revised plans to a high rise development in the area.

Residents are fearful the plans will have a negative visual impact on the area, and cause material damage to one of Corks most iconic recreational sites.
