Board gives all-clear for 100 properties on ex-Nemo site

THE way has been cleared by An Bord Pleanála for more than 100 houses and apartments on a prime Douglas Road site in Cork city.

They are to be built on lands vacated by Nemo Rangers GAA club, and on a former FCA site alongside, sold by the Department of Defence.

The decision allows developers Fleming Construction to build 75 houses and 28 apartments on the lands, just east of St Finbar’s Hospital, and accessed off the main Douglas Road.
