View answerThe construction site on Kilmore Road, Knocknheeny forms part of the City Northwest Quarter Regeneration Programme, and part of Cork City Council’s wider social housing delivery programme.
I have been advised by Cork City Council that Phase 2C is the subject of a complex contractual dispute. Cork City Council have advised that works have ceased on site pending the outcome of these discussions.
My Department has been in continuous contact with Cork City Council and they have assured my Department that they are treating this with the utmost priority and are seeking to progress a prompt solution to this matter to ensure targeted delivery of homes at this location.
My Department have not recieved any request for additional funding.
