The operator of the world-famous Blarney Castle has gone to the High Court in a bid to stop a hotel and supermarket being built 200m from the attraction.
It has launched a High Court challenge to a decision of An Bord Pleanála last December to grant planning permission for the hotel and supermarket development.
