A legal snag has delayed the planned sale of four high-profile derelict buildings in Cork City which were acquired by compulsory purchase order (CPO) earlier this year.

It comes ahead of the expected approval by the city council on Monday of  the sale of two separate derelict buildings, which have shared ownership links with the four properties on North Main Street.
