We are responding to articles in The Irish Examiner this week regarding our planning application to develop a modern 92-unit apartment building at a site, zoned for residential use, at Bessborough in Blackrock, Co Cork, which will be decided by Cork City Council in the short term.

We are confident that the application for planning permission will be successful, because of the high quality of the application, which has a major focus on social and affordable housing and is guided by the core principles of sustainability and accessibility.
