The sod has been turned on the first of modular social housing schemes in Cork City, which combined will deliver almost 100 new homes.

The start of work on the two sites was marked by the Lord Mayor Dan Boyle on Wednesday, as he also officially opened 30 A-rated social housing apartments at a third site.
