Local residents protest against Apple works in Cork

Residents living next to Apple’s huge European headquarters in Cork have called for compensation following months of disruption caused by construction on its sprawling campus.

They staged a protest at the tech giant’s facility on Cork’s northside yesterday and said the company must do more to address their concerns over dust, noise, and alleged structural damage to some of the homes in their Hollyhill estate.

“We have been putting up with this disruption for almost 18 months but the last 12 months have been horrendous,” said Jackie McKeon, spokesperson for the Ardcullen estate.
