Castlelake prepares to woo buyers with low prices

WHILE it still hasn’t been confirmed officially, the re-opening of the Midleton to Cork rail line could be announced within the next 10 days, in advance of the local elections.

The Cork County Development plan hinges on the €100 million re-opening of the rail link, a decision which lies with Minster for Transport, Seamus Brennan.

And considering plans for 8,000 new houses over the next 15 years in the East Cork village, the rail link is vital. Without this essential piece of infrastructure, a minimum of 3,000 cars could be turning onto the Midleton Parkway each morning within five years, creating a logistical disaster.
