Cork City Councillors refuse to discuss housing

Cork’s city councillors have refused to discuss housing- related matters in a row over an affordable housing estate.

They refused to discuss the entire housing programme during last night’s council meeting and are planning to maintain their stance unless the row over the designation of houses in Kilbrack Grove, Blackrock, is resolved.

Cllr Terry Shannon (FF) called on the council’s chief executive, Ann Doherty, to intervene.
