Another publicly owned landbank has been lined up for disposal to the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) to facilitate expansion at tech giant Apple’s European headquarters in Cork City.

For the second time in less than a year, city councillors will be asked to agree to sell to the IDA an area of land just north of Apple’s vast campus in Hollyhill.
