Minister turns the sod on €200m northside regeneration project

Construction work on the first phase of a decade-long housing regeneration project on Cork’s northside is poised to begin.

It has emerged that there is already a growing demand for homes in the Knocknaheeny area even before a brick has been laid.

Housing minister Jan O’Sullivan said the demand was proof the €200m Cork North West Quarter Regeneration Plan will build a sustainable community where people will want to raise a family.
