Cork City Council to sell house it just bought

A city plans to sell a historic derelict house and nearby lands just months after buying them as part of a strategic €2.6m 106-acre land deal.

Cork City Council insisted that its plan to dispose of Inchigaggin House and sell a nearby site, as well as leasing larger parcels of land straddling Carrigrohane Rd, just four months after completing the overall purchase, will help it recover a portion of the purchase costs and will not impact on its plans for the area, which include providing more recreational facilities there.
