As soon as Norma Kenny opened the door to her new house in Knocknaheeny’s regeneration scheme in Cork city, “it felt like home". 

Her daughter Eva said that she had to pause for a moment, overwhelmed with emotion, before leaving their old house around the corner which is now due to be knocked and rebuilt.
