Re: Re: developments in cork

Regarding the OPW move to Assumption Road, Blackpool. Check out the property and ‘local news’ pages of todays Irish Examiner for some photomontages of the new building- inside and out.
There’s no question of this site being a ‘nice green area’ being destroyed by development. I rememeber when it was all ‘nought but green fields’- but believe me we dont want to go back in that direction. What with the redevelopment of the Assumption convent and the neighbouring apartment complexes, this will be the icing on the cakefor Blackpool’s redevelopment.
The fact that 70% of the revenue staff are from the soutside is a non-issue. The new site is, at most a 20 min walk, 5 min bus or car ride away, and with the Kilbarry rail station due to open in the next few years (hopefully!) the revenue staff cant have too much to complain about.
