Cork City Council has called on landowners, homebuilders, as well as other interested parties, to suggest areas which they might be able to rezone land for residential use in order to accelerate housing delivery.

This comes following comments by Taoiseach Micheál Martin last month which criticised local authorities for not acting quickly enough to increase the supply of land for housing.
