The next chapter in a long-running battle for a new housing scheme in Cork is expected later this month with property giant O'Flynn Group set to lodge a fresh bid for almost 160 homes on the Old Fort Road in Ballincollig.

The scheme, which worked its way through the Irish courts throughout its six-year saga to the European Court of Justice, is now set to expand further, with original plans for 123 apartments being replaced by a larger development comprising 159 units.
