House where father of modern computing lived 'on UCC's priority list' for restoration

UCC said they expect to proceed with detailed design and tendering of the remaining works at Boole House in 2022

UCC said: “Boole House is on UCC's priority list for capital investment, and the university is actively exploring funding options for the project."

University College Cork (UCC) says it remains fully committed to refurbishing the historic Boole House - where the father of modern coding and computing lived in the 1850s - five years after it was saved from dereliction.

The university underlined its commitment to the project after concerns were raised at a meeting of Cork City Council about the delays in delivering the full vision for the property at 5 Grenville Place.
