Amid fears of a surge in evictions, new figures show construction has yet to start on more than 2,500 apartments with planning in Cork City.
The figures were released this week as city councillors agreed to bring forward next month’s meeting of the council’s strategic housing policy committee (SPC) to discuss potential emergency responses to the anticipated tsunami of evictions expected following the lifting of the eviction ban.
