Two long-time derelict sites in Cork City approved for sale
The sites at 118 and 119 Barrack Street have been approved for disposal for €275,000.
Two long-time derelict properties on Cork’s historic Barrack St — acquired by compulsory purchase order (CPO) — have been approved for disposal for €275,000 on condition that they are redeveloped within two years.
Despite claims from some city councillors that the properties were being given away for a “knock-down price” and should be retained by Cork City Council for the development of social housing, councillors voted 21-6 to approve the disposal of 118 and 119 Barrack St to a Mairead Keohane.
