Taoiseach Micheál Martin has turned the sod on two Cork City social housing projects which, when completed, will deliver more than 800 new social or affordable homes.
The two developments consist of the 217-unit Railyard Apartments scheme on the old Carey’s Tool Hire and Sextant site in the city centre, which will include Ireland’s tallest residential building, and the 606-unit Creamfields development on the old Kinsale Road.
Mr Martin said the new developments represented a major step forward in addressing housing need, while also building strong communities.
