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.
