Homes schemes approved
Councillors cleared the way for the Part 8 projects - one in Shanakiel and two in Gurranabraher - to proceed despite some concerns about housing density, traffic and levels of consultation with residents.
The Shanakiel project off the Blarney road is worth over €100m and will deliver more than 240 affordable homes, including two, three and four-bedroomed houses, duplexes and apartments.
