Homes Promised But Still Waiting | Ireland News

Cork’s biggest housing regeneration project is years behind schedule, leaving hundreds of residents in crumbling homes while promises of new social, private, and voluntary housing stall. Once slated as one of Ireland’s largest urban renewal efforts, the plan—first floated in the 90s and revived with a €90 million boost in 2011—has delivered less than a third of its promised 600+ homes. Families in areas like Knocknaheeny and Killala Gardens endure leaky roofs, no heating, and rat infestations, with one mother reporting rats even destroyed her daughter’s car. Officials say some phases are underway, but delays of up to three years are common, and many residents face another five years before their homes are rebuilt—turning hope into hardship as vacant lots become neglected and pest-ridden.
