Would agree with your point , you need the concentrated population to sustain good public services.I’ve been overseas hunting Lee Bushwacker for a pint the last while ,having seen Spanish cities
I’m come to the conclusion that we are 150k people short for the current ambitious of the council vis a vis public relm initiatives that can’t be policed or cleaned ,
More housing,bolder decisions by civil servants ,and the empowering of those to be expansive and take risks rather than being risk adverse hidden under the guise of “being responsible “ it’s now clearly needed ,an emergency even.
That area around Lower Oliver Plunkett Street wouldn't be a bad place to develop residential capacity, there's a bunch of derelict building and 2 story terraces right in the centre of the city.
Cork only grew 11% in the two census periods leading up to the last census. 11% in 10 years isn't much.
