Ó Cualann application for affordable homes awaits OK

Would-be home owners priced out of the open market have already started applying for affordable houses under a scheme that has yet to receive planning permission in Cork city.

Hugh Brennan, CEO of Ó Cualann CoHousing Alliance, said even though they have not yet advertised the scheme, applications are coming in relation to 17 homes they are hoping to build in Knocknaheeny in an area earmarked for regeneration.
