## Resource

Cork City Council is sounding the alarm over a massive funding gap—while private homeowners get up to 110,000 euros to renovate derelict homes, the council gets just 12,000 euros for the same work. With hundreds of vacant council properties sitting unused and thousands struggling for housing, they’re demanding urgent action: dedicated funds to fix 348 homes within two years, aiming for zero long-term vacancies. They’re even proposing selling off high-cost properties to reinvest in affordable housing—but that’s sparking heated debate. The council is now calling on the Taoiseach and Housing Minister to level the playing field, pushing for at least 20,000 euros per unit to make real progress on Ireland’s housing crisis.
