Harbour village site for €75,000 has planning for two townhouses

Value for an enterprising buyer, or two together. Tommy Barker reports

It’s like a tale — or a nightmare — from the boom, the rise in hopes and the crashing fall in value of this Monkstown, Cork harbour area site.

A tale of two times, and two house sites, this redevelopment plot, facing the tennis courts in Monkstown, was bought at auction in 2006 for €330,000.
