## Resource

Cork City Council is sounding the alarm over a massive funding gap that’s crippling its ability to renovate empty homes—getting just 12,000 euros per property compared to up to 110,000 euros for private owners. With 348 vacant council homes needing urgent repair at a potential cost of 8 million euros, local reps are demanding a serious cash injection from the national government to clear the backlog within two years. Frustration is mounting as families struggle to find affordable housing while boarded-up properties sit idle—some for over a year. The council is even considering selling off unrenovatable homes, though that idea sparks debate. With housing officials notably absent from key discussions, the pressure is on ministers to act fast before Cork’s housing crisis deepens.
