A housing investment agency is set to plough €9m into the building of critical infrastructure to help deliver more than 750 homes on a vast greenfield site near Cork City — one of the largest strategic housing developments (SHD) in the State.

Tanáiste Micheál Martin and Finance Minister Michael McGrath turned the sod on the Housing Infrastructure Services Company (HISCo) investment in roads, footpaths and services for the site on the northside of Cork City on Friday, where planning was granted more than three years ago for 753 houses and apartments.
