Apple could be core of bid to preserve building

Tech giant Apple may be asked to help save the former Cork home of pioneering mathematician George Boole following its partial collapse two years ago.

A group comprised of city council officials and representatives of UCC, where Boole once taught, has been set up to explore options for the city centre property.

City manager Tim Lucey said a building condition and feasibility study had been prepared and presented to UCC, and preliminary discussions had taken place.
