Beverley, a four-house scheme in Donnybrook, rises up over the hills

Standards set in Blackrock to be matched in Donnybrook, says Tommy Barker.

THE Irish housing market needs new stock, lots of it, and density schemes too, to tackle rising prices and soaring rents.

Developers Paul Forde and Tommy Murray of Citidwell have one such mid-density scheme soon to launch in southside Cork at Tramore Road, on the old Keatings bakery site where they are to build about 30 sizeable three-storey semis and townhouses to a homes-hungry market.
