Out with the old property, in with the new

DERELICTION is being done away with: local authorities are moving on abandoned properties and those with title issues, prepared to move mountains of legal paperwork to get rid of scars on city and village streets.

And a case in point is the renewed property occupying the footprint of nos 138 to 140 Lower Glanmire Road in Cork city, gratis of Council action under the Derelict Sites Act.

The area just beyond Cork’s main railway station heading east from the city centre is set for a massive renewal once Manor Park Homes get past lodging their long-awaited planning application for CIE’s Horgan’s Quay site, poised to take high rise and high density apartments overlooking the River Lee.
