Kanturk social housing build mothballed despite waiting list of 150 people

Plans to build 16 social houses in a Co Cork town have been mothballed, despite 150 people being on the waiting list there.

The density and design of the houses, and the threat of a judicial review, were raised when a row developed in County Hall over the proposed project at Bluepool, Kanturk.

Representatives from Upper Bluepool Residents’ Association sat in the public gallery, listening to a sometimes heated debate on the project.
