Cork County Council recently received a draft feasibility report from its consultants which set out, inter alia, a development concept for the site. Certain technical aspects, which require further consideration by the Council, are at present under review. It is understood that further public consultation will take place as soon as these issues have been addressed. Following this process detailed design and planning will be undertaken with a view to commencing work on the site as soon as possible. My Department, however, will continue to ensure that this project, along with all the other projects under the affordable housing initiative, is progressed as speedily as possible with the aim of having the earliest possible delivery of units.
