The detailed advancement of housing and other works under the Cork North West Quarter Regeneration (CNWQR) programme is a matter, in the first instance, for Cork City Council.

The Cork City Northwest Regeneration Masterplan & Implementation Report was published in 2011. The strategy outlined a departure from previous policy, with a proposal to carry out wholesale demolition of the housing stock in Knocknaheeny that has not been the subject of previous refurbishment works. 

To date 100 units have been delivered in phases 1B, 2A and 2C of this programme.

Currently Phase 1C (41 units) and Phase 2B (38) are at the preconstruction phase with Part 8 planning achieved with completion expected in Q4 2023.  Phases 3B (62 units) and 4A (43 units) are currently at the project planning and design phase and are expected to complete in Q2 of 2025.

My Department awaits funding submissions and programme dates for the remaining phases.

The CNWQR programme runs until 2027, and it is envisaged that projects will be ongoing until this date.
