Cork’s new €35m ‘jenga-block’ student accommodation has been launched, with 255 students moving in from next week.

University College Cork’s Crow's Nest student accommodation in Victoria Cross is fitting "another piece of the jigsaw into UCC’s community”, providing much-needed accommodation, a cafe and communal student facilities in the area, UCC president Professor John O’Halloran said.
