No planning required anymore to turn empty commercial buildings into homes, as long as they follow building regs

Read our latest article looking at how we don't know much about the homes in Ireland
This is wasting a lot of limited resources and making it harder to manage the existing housing stock.

Guess who's back?
Built as home around 1830 on North Main St, Cork
AIB branch closed its doors here 5 years ago, been empty since
Great to see it coming back into use
It looks like 6 flats & 2 groundfloor units, reminding us most sustainable is existing
Good luck to new occupants

If we want everyone to have a home in Ireland we need to know where the homes are, if they are used or empty, what state they are in, & what needs to be done to get them back into use
Everyone should have a home
Wasted homes don't help anyone except hoarders
Me & Jude look at solving the data side

Why is city council spending public money to block off access to all our River Lee
Lots of people like to chill on these historic steps onto the river, there was a ferry from here back in the day, from Ferry Lane to Coal Quay
Instead of increasing public luxury they take it away 😢

Wow the fencing is finally gone, we get our footpath back & they so kindly left us the rubble as modern ruin art installation
This has been lethal since this end of row heritage building left its mark AGAIN last August on Corks historic North Main St, this is where it all started

These 3 homes in Rathmore have just been added to Derelict Sites Register
Kerry Council waited a few years after roof started to fall onto street & they had to block off footpath underneath before finally acting
The law has been in place since 1990
Welcome to #DerelictIreland
Ireland's housing crisis: If you can't fix what you don't measure, and Ireland has no clear record of its properties and how they're used, is it any wonder we're in this predicament?

Unlike many of our European counterparts, we have no reliable system for tracking who lives in what properties in Ireland, and it’s costing us valuable time.
