What difference does the height of it make if you're not going to see over it either way. What you'd want to see over it is beyond me anyway since Cork has a terrible skyline and the sky is overcast 90% of the year.
Anything is better than what's there at the moment, regardless.
Complaint?? Or comment...??
I quite like tall buildings, usually where they allow for more space around them.. But it's a bit like both your next door neighbours building 3 storey extension out the back of your terrace house... Your bright airy kitchen is suddenly in a canyon....Slava ukraini 🇺🇦

Pretty nice though :pac:
Ya, its nice alright, I have buddies living in the lower end of the tower in a 2 bed apartment and its nice but their rent is about half that and I think they're paying too much.
I've no idea who would pay €3.5k a month for an apartment, you'd need a couple or a single person earning over €100k a year to live in it and people in that bracket are probably going to buy a house.
It is a nice listing though but unless you've stupid money, kind of pointless.0 -

It'll probably be rented out by someone like Apple and used to house some of their high level staff. That's what's happening in Dublin with all the expensive apartments around the IFSC.0 -

I heard (don't know if it's true or not) that many of the apartments were taken up by couples sharing. i.e. a 2 bedroom apartment would have 4 people splitting the rent, which make them far more reasonable.0 -

Oh totally, astronomical price. If I was a millionaire a hundred times over I might consider buying it

He is on the radio now spreading this “the scale is too big” it’s not gonna be like Manhattan, although the “residents” think they will. “Sports clubs” not benefitting from the accommodation.. I really don’t think that’s a valid reason.
He literally just said about the rows nest being a good area and it should move to there. The crows nest already has permission for accommodation. Does he look at his cities planning at all?0 -

Mick Finn represents the Cork South Central ward so this is just classic NIMBYism really.
What are the odds that The Crows nest is probably in the neighbouring ward?0 -

That was definitely true for the Dail constituencies but I'm on about city council wards.
Just looking it up there and it looks like it's in the South-West ward:
He may be the mayor this year but he's got to get re-elected by the people of the south central ward!!
