Plans to deliver a massive 600-unit housing estate on a large publicly-owned site in Cork City are set to take a major step forward within weeks.

City officials are to issue a call to the open market by the end of this month, seeking expressions of interest from builders and developers for the creation of a vast new residential community on a 54-acre landbank on the city’s northside.
