Carrigaline has lowest Cork commercial vacancy rate

Carrigaline has the lowest level of commercial vacant buildings among Cork towns while Youghal has the highest, according to research from Ireland’s only complete database of commercial and residential buildings.

The research from economic consultants DKM and GeoDirectory — a body jointly established by An Post and Ordnance Survey Ireland — found Carrigaline had a commercial vacancy of 8.3% in the second quarter of the year, largely unchanged from the same period last year.

Five Cork towns as well as the city centre were selected for the research out of 21 towns across Munster.
