Also, I was reading back over some of the previous posts and I got confused as regards the plans for Eglintine Street. The former An Post site is due to be developed into office space, a few stories high, and the proposed tall structure, approx 19 storys high, has been stalled/going ahead??
All elements of this development are going ahead including a 17 storey tower. You are probably thinking of the Water St project which is still in appeal.
Just saw that the planned UCC IT building has got funding from the government, hopefully this means a start date for construction will come soon. Anyone know when we can expect this?

presumably though Clayton love wont move on Carrigaline for a while if he is concentrating on revamping Douglas?
now that Douglas has been brought up what is the current situation with this?? is construction due to start any time soon or is it still in the planning phase?
that is the developers/architects intention with the glucksman, after a few years it should age quite well and fit in with its surrounding woodland setting!
sorry to annoy ye again for info, but I need to get my hands on residential info (past, present, future, facts & figures) regarding Blackpool and how it is developing! Anyone know where I can get info online?? Have got a bit of info from newspapers and the corpo website but need something a bit more facts and figures based. Please let me nkow if you know of anything, cheers Leesider!!

Merchants Quay was another opportunity lost on a massive scale for Cork in such a prominent position and the problem with “build something instead of nothing at all” policy. Driving down the city’s quays all it offers is the massive neon backlight signage of “Dunnes Stores”.Remember Ambrose Kelly is’nt an architect.
still a damn sight better than the quay accross the way with the metropole!! how long are we going to have to wait for something to be done there?
Does anyone know where I can get indept reports on the property market in the city centre concentrating on supply and demand from a residential perspective? Any help would be greatly appreciated! it’s for a college work in case ye were wondering 😉
in my opinion footlocker are shite, the likes of mahers and cummins are alot better! this is just my opinion but some of the shops we have are better than the multiples that come in!
that’s the company closing down! They have a shop in Wilton as well, it will be interesting what happens the one on Maylor St.
as regards the patrick’s quay development do you see this going ahead if they don’t get the Revenue deal?? Would be a shame to lose this development.
good response and I have to say I agree with most of it. Whether Aer Arann should have kept on all their flights is debateable but dropping it to 3 from 9 seems a bit over the top. In fairness Ryanair will appeal to a different type of client, ie. those getting connecting Ryanair flights from Dublin, match goers etc.. Aer Arann will still appeal to the business tripper due to the above reasons given by lexington!
Have heard alot of crap from Ryanair as regards developing the regions but yet they have never come into Cork, not in the way you would have expected them to. Maybe they are waiting for developments with the old terminal and are just testing the waters with the new routes as regards the CAA. For a semi state body aerlingus always disappoint me as well with their lack of ambition with Cork……..one can only assume politics plays a big part here!!

Just wondering what is the state of play with the Jury’s site?? Have the cranes gone up or is it just demolition work at the moment?? Haven’t been down to the motherland in a while!

🙁 I don’t think Aer Arann get it…Excuse my ignorance here Lex but why do you think that Aer Arann don’t get it??………..presume you think there is potnetial for both of them to operate on the service??
What annoys me about Cork airport at the moment is that the big 2, Ryanair and Aerlingus don’t appear to have much interest in it except for jumping on other routes that have been proven successful by other airlines (Aer Arann, Jet Magic). They don’t seem to realise the potential that Cork has for other mainland European routes. Good to see Jet2 come on board but again it’s a British route (Newcastle)!
question regarding the appeal for Water St. if they are successful will the tower element be allowed or is this an appeal for the scaled back version without the 17 storey tower?
Just wondering Lex as regards Horgan’s Quay when is the earliest you would envisage construction starting?? Presume we are talking late 2006 start of 2007?

I can see that being demolished and something new built there. A store won’t easily go into an old bank. Also, (from memory) a lot of the building is only one storey.
How about a bar?? Doubt if they would allow it on Patrick’s St though!
Did anyone see the article in the Independent yesterday regarding Cork airport and Ryanair?? Ryanair have expressed an interest in using the old terminal building as a low cost hub when the new one is up and running. Hopefully the airport authorities and Ryanair might be able to iron something out, it would be great for Cork!
heard capacity for the Pairc could be down to 35,000 after the match on sunday due to safety restrictions! not worth holding any munster finals there if that is the case. Good to see though that they have definite plans in pipeline.
