City’s northside regeneration ‘must continue’

THERE were calls last night for continued Government investment in the regeneration of Cork’s northside as one of the most ambitious phases of a housing project costing €120 million was officially opened.

Housing Minister Michael Finneran opened Block D of the Knocknaheeny Regeneration Plan – which includes a €9m community complex and a new town centre.

Local resident and Fianna Fáil Cllr Tony Fitzgerald described it as a milestone in the community’s history.
