€9m contract signed to provide 49 council houses

Cork County Council has signed a contract worth over €9m to deliver 49 council houses in one of the country’s largest commuter towns.

The scheme in Kilnagleary, Carrigaline, is one of a number in development as the local authority looks to reduce a waiting list that stood at over 4,500 at the end of 2017.

The development of two, three and four bedroom two storey houses will be built by MMD Construction (Cork) Ltd following the signing of a contract by its director Cormac Smith, county deputy mayor Ian Doyle, and council chief executive Tim Lucey.
