Camp Field amongst State-owned Cork sites that could provide up to 900 affordable homes

Army lands and local authority lands in Cork city and beyond, with the capacity for up to 900 affordable homes, have been newly identified by the Land Development Agency (LDA) as having potential for housing delivery.

The Camp Field near Collins Barracks on Old Youghal Rd, as well as land on Farranlea Rd owned by the Cork Education and Training Board (CETB), and Cork County Council land at Kilnaglery in Carrigaline, are the latest parcels to be identified by the LDA in its drive to unlock further sites to add to its delivery pipeline. A total of 19 new sites nationwide are included in the agency’s just-published second Report on Relevant Public Land, bringing the total identified since 2023 to 102, with the potential for development of more than 70,000 homes.
