There is no evidence why these buildings on North Main St cannot be saved
An independent structural report needs to be carried out, which would save them
This is one of the oldest streets in the medieval area of Cork
These buildings have historic value#SaveCorkCity pic.twitter.com/0rhZ8QWEnl

Is there a structural engineer in the house?
Where’s Cllr Dan?
Anyone?

Would be in the area on occasion and almost no doubt in my mind that these have been let fall into total disrepair intentionally the past few years. I’d say they even looked quite picturesque 3-5 years back.
Judging by google maps they were in the same state a decade ago. There’s nothing remarkable about them, can’t believe they’re spouting medieval nonsense. They’re 20th century builds.
I normally agree with trying to conserve as much as possible for old buildings but these really dont look to have anything of architectural interest, they also look like turn of 1900, nothing medieval about that.
So do a lot of buildings on Thomas st, but behind the facade are original timber beams etc dating back 300 years or more..
if 300 yo wood beams it goes into a totally different category…
I would agree the old trick of have them in such a bad condition one can just build the new building
Its time that the building that replaces the demerit one must be an identical design built from the old materials in the manner it was first built
This would ensure proper conservation
this is Ireland, where developers can destroy the country and will not be punished, thanks civilwarshirts
Mid 20th century rubbish. Replace it with early 21st century rubbish.
In fairness i’d worry for the impartiality of his independent report which he already concludes ‘would save them’.
You can always buy them and do whatever you like with them. You’re very generous with their current owner’s money.
I thought all of Cork was still in the Middle Ages?
Watch thyself, knave, lest thou feel my wrath!
