The development of housing by the Land Development Agency on the site at St Kevin's Hospital is currently underway. This 14.5 acre site is expected to deliver approximately 266 homes (46 houses and 220 apartments), with a tenure mix of cost rental, affordable purchase and social homes.

The Vesting Order to transfer the land at St. Kevin's is complete, and the LDA has advised my Department that construction of the first phase comprising of 97 homes is underway at the site in Cork, with delivery expected in Q4 2025. The remaining homes are estimated to be delivered across 2026 and 2027.
