Cork City Council has gone out to tender for the next phase of a controversial social housing development on the northside, where a previous contractual dispute had seen works grind to a halt for years.

The estimated €23m project for 62 apartments in Knocknaheeny constitutes Phase 3b of the landmark housing plan in the area.
