#DerelictIreland on Instagram: "What next? How about no more rot. Now University College Cork have shelved their plans for this 200 year old Georgian home (one of two left from a terrace that was built in 1825), as well as plans for the former Brooks Haughton's builders yard, their neighbour on the historic South Terrace, Cork City centre. Could they be homes? For example the @corkstudenthousingcoop are looking for premises, wouldn't that be a lovely story if University College Cork worked with them to make cooperative student housing a reality in Cork. Aside from potential homes it's so sad and wasteful seeing our architectural heritage rotting like this, given its vital for our wellbeing and our sense of place. And letting buildings rot is never a recommended strategy, particularly given most sustainable is existing. So what next, so many options, but please don't continue to let them rot. We live with Dóchas. #derelictireland🙏 #RestPlayWork #protestart #Everyoneshouldhaveahome #VacantIreland 🎵 by @martinpleahy"
