€20m eco-housing project planned for Ballyvourney

THE West Cork village of Ballyvourney is set to get Ireland’s biggest ever eco-housing project for an estimated €20 million.

The development, which will be undertaken in two phases, will involve the construction of 90 homes, a family resource centre, creche, Irish language school and traditional Irish music centre.

It’s the brainchild of Radon Ireland and a group of private investors who hope to start construction of the first phase of 51 houses next January.
