Ghost estates special report: Partly-built houses remain, a year after demolition decision

More than a year since demolition plans for up to 20 homes in another ghost estate were announced, the process has stalled.

Cork County Council confirmed it has been unable to secure the agreement of a landowner linked to the Lios na Gréine estate in Lismire, which was developed more than 12 years ago, regarding the demolition element of one area of the estate as part of a wider programme of works designed to resolve complex issues at this site.

It did, however, confirm that following lengthy negotiations, the bond provider has agreed to fund a programme of remedial works on the estate.
