Planning delays are stalling Cork Docklands redevelopment, Brian O'Callaghan tells summit

The docklands projects, Ireland's largest regeneration project, would see 10,000 new homes built, enough to accommodate 20,000 residents while creating 25,000 jobs

O’Callaghan Properties MD Brian O’Callaghan told the CIF summit: 'We have planning permission for the Goulding’s site for 1,325 apartments. That is subject to other planning permission which is currently delayed since October 2022.'

The pace of development across all areas of the construction sector is not fast enough to satisfy Cork’s skyrocketing population, an industry summit has heard.

Speaking at the Southern Construction Summit in Cork on Thursday, O’Callaghan Properties managing director Brian O’Callaghan said significant delays in the planning process are holding up the developments of certain dockland projects.
