I am aware of proposals in relation to the inclusion of certain areas within the Cork City Northwest Regeneration programme. The Revised Masterplan for Cork City Northwest Regeneration Programme was adopted by the Council in 2011, following extensive consultation with elected members, residents and other key stakeholders and it is not proposed to extend the areas covered by the programme. 

I understand that Cork City Council is in regular contact with the residents of areas adjacent to the regeneration area and has met with resident representatives of these areas, and, inter alia, has assured them that the regeneration programme has and will continue to develop improved community facilities and that the benefits of these facilities are available to residents beyond the precise areas covered by the regeneration programme.
