Several blocks of ageing flats in Cork city, where residents have complained about appalling living conditions, have been earmarked for demolition and regeneration, subject to funding.

It follows a concerted campaign by the residents of the flats at Noonan’s Road, Dean St, St Finbarr’s Road, and Fort St, to secure action and improvements.
