Cork Residents Still Struggle with Council Promises

Three years after Cork City Council promised to fix it, residents of Glentrasna estate are still trapped in homes plagued by mould, leaks, and rodents. Built between 2005 and 2010, these 95 social housing units should be safe—but tenants say promises went unkept, repairs were half-hearted, and conditions have worsened. With over 1,100 maintenance requests logged since 2021—more than one per home per year—residents feel ignored and frustrated. Council claims two requests per home is normal, but locals say it’s not normal to live in danger every day. This isn’t just a housing issue—it’s a funding and accountability crisis that demands real, lasting solutions. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
