An Bord Pleanála has granted planning permission for what will be the country’s tallest building.
Via RTÉ
The green light for the €140 million development at Custom House Quay in Cork City centre was given today subject to 23 conditions.
The Board’s decision follows an appeal by a number of parties including the Irish Georgian Society to the go-ahead given to the project by Cork City Council last October.
The planned development by New York-based Tower Holdings on the former Port of Cork site with its iconic Port of Cork sign, includes a 34-storey hotel tower, 25 serviced suites, and a range of commercial uses including retail, office, food and beverage, distillery, tourism and leisure….

The Cork site is comparable to the great urban apexes at Île de la Cité, Paris & at the junction of the Grand Canal & lagoon, Venice. There is ample space for higher buildings in Cork's docklands without spoiling this historically rich site with a globally-anonymous glass tower. pic.twitter.com/bJGT3Qh0J9

Recruitment is underway for a HSE-funded ‘public sex environment outreach worker’ role with the Sexual Health Centre in Cork city.
Via The Irish Examiner:
Dr Martin Davoren, the centre’s executive director, described it as a “challenging yet exciting new role”.
“It’s quite a bespoke role and it’s not going to be for everybody but we are excited to introduce it,” he said.
While some people use apps to hook up with sexual partners, Dr Davoren said there was a significant cohort of mainly older men who don’t use such technology to meet sexual partners.
“Public sex environments are active and alive in Ireland,” he said.
