PORT OF CORK 13 MAY 2011 - KENNEDY QUAY [USED A SONY VG10E CAMCORDER]--156735

            During its 400 year history, Kennedy Quay and its associated docklands have been the seat of commerce and trade for the City of Cork however the area has been in decline for many years.

Kennedy Quay still operates commercially and has a number of interesting features including a number of old buildings but there has been a lot of demolition work in the area since I first visited ten years ago. 

One of the key landowners in Cork Docklands, Origin Enterprises owns close to thirty acres of land on Cork’s south docks and demolition has taken place of their silos on Kennedy Quay by the R&H Hall building. Origin Enterprises, a subsidiary of convenience food group IAWS, has recently submitted a plan for a major retail and residential development of the docklands area of Cork.

A few years ago the Government announced that three major housing developments in Cork City will benefit from combined State support of €25.89 million through the Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (LIHAF). According to the press release -  “The new funding will catalyse the development of three sites: a 600 unit suburban greenfield site at the Old Whitechurch Road; the former “Atlantic Quarter” site on the former Ford Depot site on Centre Park Road; and the R & H Hall site on Kennedy Quay.”
