## Resource

Cork’s Docklands regeneration is officially underway — but with a massive price tag jump from €595 million to over €1 billion. The project, Ireland’s largest urban renewal effort, aims to deliver 10,000 homes and 25,000 jobs by 2038, featuring new roads, parks, and public spaces. The biggest cost blow? The Eastern Gateway Bridge, now ballooning from €74 million to €311 million. Phase one focuses on the North Docks with a waterfront promenade and active travel routes, while phase two — targeting the South Quays — will bring plazas, greenways, sports centers, and river access. Though the state won’t face major costs until after 2030, officials call it a “transformational” investment for Cork’s future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
