Viability issues are still hampering the delivery of private apartments in Cork City despite the emergence of plans yesterday for more than 700 apartments on a former dairy site on the city's southside.

The warning from Cork Chamber follows news that Watfore, the property management and development subsidiary of agri-food giant Dairygold, has applied to Bórd Pleanála for a pre-application consultation on its plans for 706 apartments and a childcare facility on the former CMP dairy site on the Kinsale Road.
