Developer may have to rebuild old friary

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / October 22 2004: Developer may have to rebuild old friary

Cork City Council is considering whether to compel a developer to rebuild a historic church which was partially demolished without planning permission to construct a series of student apartments. A spokeswoman for the council's planning department confirmed yesterday that the partial demolition of the old Capuchin Friary off Blackamore Lane behind Sullivan's Quay near the city centre had been carried out with planning permission. "This morning a number of planning department officials met the developer, Eric Treacy, at the site and, following a preliminary examination of the site, he was formally asked to cease development and was advised that the work was an unauthorised development," she said.
