Apple shows the potential of investment for all Irish regions

Cork got an interesting boost last week from the world’s largest company and it ought to wake everyone up to the potential for far more investment in the region, including towns and villages outside the city.

Let’s start with the basics. In San Francisco, it now costs $2,000 or more per month to rent a simple one- bedroom apartment.

That’s €1,880 in our money. You can rent a four-bedroom house outside Cork for that price presently or a two-bedroom flat in Cork for closer to €1,200.
