Hope for jobs boost as Apple seeks to build office block at its Cork HQ

Hopes of a significant jobs boost have been raised after technology giant Apple applied to build a new office building beside its existing European headquarters on the northside of Cork City.

The company has sought planning permission for a three-storey office block at the Hollyhill Industrial Estate on the Kilmore Rd.

That block will be linked to Apple’s existing building by a pedestrian bridge. A separate planning notice has been filed for an extension of Apple’s car park.
