I think that the City Council have a preservation order on those silos?

They are knackered structurally and any intervention would be unsafe and ensure their collapse which the City Council heritage officer is well aware of.

What do we want? houses houses house, But not here, not there,

In all farness now, that thing looked shocking. I presume they'll resubmit a more realistic proposal

Apartments and a Lidl being proposed for the Vita Cortex site, would houses that could become permanent family homes not be a better choice?

University College Cork (UCC) has appointed architects as part of its plans for a brand new building for the Cork University Business School (CUBS), which it has said will contribute to the “regeneration and revitalisation” of the city centre.
The site is at the location of a former Brooks Haughton builder’s yard, between Copley Street, Union Quay and South Terrace.
RKD Architects were the successful tenderers for the contract worth €3.5m, which includes architectural services, electrical engineering servicing and supervision of the design process for the landmark plans. The consultants will also be required to conduct a feasibility study, capacity study, and masterplan for the entire site.
The new site will amalgamate and accommodate all components of the CUBS which is currently dispersed across a number of sites on the UCC campus. It will also complement the Centre for Executive Education which opened in 2018 in the refurbished Savings Bank on Lapp’s Quay.
The CUBS facility will be around 17,000sq m, incorporating teaching space, laboratories, meeting facilities, office space and catering facilities on site.

Interesting development in Blarney. The hotel site, which has been empty for years will now have a shop (Lidl), restaurant/cafe, apartments and a health centre. City Hall refused permission, but the Planning Board has overruled them. Blarney Castle, of course, objected - nothing new there.

The local SuperValu may have to re-evaluate some of their prices...

A win-win for the locals.
