Cork City Council have advised my Department that the Phase 2C construction contract for 24 houses in the Cork City Northwest Quarter Regeneration is not complete as there is a quality control issue with the works on site which the employer, Cork City Council, is addressing contractually with the main building contractor.

My Department continues to work closely with Cork City Council to progress the ambitious and far reaching Regeneration programme in the city.

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

The CNWQR 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 76 units have been completed in phases 1B and 2A of this programme, with Phase 2C, comprising 24 units, under construction.

Phase 1C (41 units) and Phase 2B (38 units) have recently commenced construction with projected delivery in Q4 2023.

Phases 3B (62 units) and 4A (43 units) received Part 8 Planning approval in 2022 and are at the detailed design phase and are expected to complete in Q2 of 2025. In that regard, Phase 3 demolition works are substantially complete at Knocknaheeny Avenue and Harbour View Road, and Cork City Council is engaged in an ongoing decant of homeowners and tenants in Phases 3 and 4.

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.
