Week ending 27/04/2024 #CorkCraneCount : 7. 🚨🚨Down 1🚨🚨 The idle crane in Glanmire was taken down. However, there was generally good news, especially for Glanmire with a design team being sought for the new public elective hospital there.

The crane had been up since July 2021, but inactive for a long time. I had denoted this inactivity with an asterisk, which won’t be needed now going forward. Thanks to a follower for letting me know. If anyone in the area got a photo today, I’d appreciate it

Objection to @anbordpleanala has been withdrawn, removing the last barrier to redevelopment of Kennedy Quay, including offices, apartments and a repurposing of the old Odlum’s Building. The R&H Hall silos will be demolished, assuming the developers proceed with the project.

3. There’s a strong trend of small city centre houses being renovated and restored for private use. Lots seem to be old student accommodation or bedsits. I really hope that pattern continues. This is a good example from Bandon Road. No idea who builder or architect are.
