Cork council compulsorily acquiring 30 derelict sites
Cork City Council is in the process of acquiring 30 derelict city centre properties and sites by Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO). This is part of a redevelopment ahead of the city hosting European Capital of Culture in 2005. The council is dealing with over 160 city centre sites. A council spokesperson confirmed yesterday it has placed 30 of these sites on its acquisition programme.
