Best hoarding I’ve seen in Cork is at Jacobs island. They’ve actually cut into the graphics which gives it look very dramatic against the skyline

One of the few developments where the hoarding is better than the actual development:) – you could’nt swing a cat in those apartments.
Cork City Fire Service are dealing with a fire on site this morning.
Eglinton Street is closed off, no further details at the moment.(I read the paper in the shop 😀 )
Me too! Virtual high five!
I used to use acetlyene barrels in school. I was always worries that one would explode, somewhat irrationally I suppose, but now my fears have been vindicated. I didn’t help that my engineering teacher hadn’t the slightest concern for safety.

eglinton looks fantastic i must say.
I think it’ll look very good but on 2 sides only, on the north and east facing sides they have this horrible grey cladding. Don’t know why they couldn’t use the same materials as on the other sides.
this hasn’t been discussed in a while. how is it coming along these days? does anyone have some updated images?

Looks more or less the same with more exterior paneling appearing 🙂
The panelling is only beautiful ! 😮
From today’s Sunday Business post, full story is here. Flynns must be ruing the day they didn’t try to sell the apartments off the plans when they announced it given the prediction is for a further 10% fall in values next year.
Court battle over country’s tallest building in Cork city
16 December 2007 By Ian Kehoe and Neil CallananTwo of the biggest property development companies in the country are embroiled in a multimillion euro High Court battle over the planned tallest building in Ireland.
Cork-based O’Flynn Construction is suing Howard Holdings in a dispute over access to Elysian, a 17-storey tower block being built in Cork’s docklands.
O’Flynn Construction is the developer behind the €150 million tower, which – at 71metres high – will be Ireland’s highest building. The Cork company claims that it agreed with Howard Holdings to buy an adjacent site, which is crucial for access to Elysian. However, a dispute has broken out over the sale.
O’Flynn Construction, headed by Michael O’ Flynn, now wants the High Court to force Howard Holdings to sell the site. The matter is due to return to court in January. Greg Coughlin, the chief executive of Howard Holdings, has filed an affidavit.

Wow, that looks like a nasty dispute. Any idea where the disputed land is situated?
I presume it’s either access via the Webworks building or else via the stone warehouses on Lavitts Quay that were on the market a while back

If access was proposed through the Webworks site, Cork City Council should have ensured all was in order before selling (“giving awayâ€) the site to Howard Holdings for the sum of 2,225,000 euro on a 700 year lease @ 10 euro PA rent.

I think these are the buildings on Albert Quay/Albert Street.
Suttons had a coal store there.There also was a fast fit exhaust business there up to a few years ago.
