Week ending 22/08/2026: #CorkCraneCount: 24. No change. Flynn Management are constructing two Primary Care centres for HSE in Cork at present. The Douglas one is very visible from south link, but the one in Glanmire has much fewer passers-by. You can get very close though:

The * is because I had heard they might start erecting second crane at @CairnHomes other big Cork site in Castletreasure on Saturday, but had no confirmation it had begun after.

Week ending 11/07/26: #CorkCraneCount: 22. No change. First of multiple apartment blocks visible above the hoarding now at Creamfields. Newest and tallest of the 3 cranes appears deceptively small from this perspective.

CorkCraneCount @corkcranecount.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Then yesterday, work started on erecting the first (of two cranes I’m told) for the next phase of apartments at the Cairn Homes Bayly development in Castletreasure. Thanks @djwalker.bsky.social for this photo.

Week ending 09/05/26: #CorkCraneCount: 22. No change. New LRD application for 104 housing units and a crèche on Pope’s Hill. Interesting site so close to city centre. Would make you wonder about neighbouring land including the army barracks?

And then yesterday, 🚨🚨New crane in Douglas🚨🚨 New primary care centre being built by Flynn Management for @hselive.bsky.social Thanks to a follower for the update. #CorkCraneCount: 22 ⬆️1. Another week with activity on multiple sites

Main news in the city is the pace of the lift shaft pour at Railyard apartments. The slip form is progressing more than 2 floors every 24 hours. So these photos from a follower from Friday is already superseded by events.

CorkCraneCount @corkcranecount.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Street view actually shows the original development in more optimistic times in 2009, but maybe already in trouble by then? It also the state of it from 3 years ago…

CorkCraneCount @corkcranecount.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Week ending 07/03/26: #CorkCraneCount: 21. No change. Superseded by the monster crane last week, news of a Cork City Council consultation recently opened for apartments on a particularly egregious derelict site in Gurranabraher. Delighted to see a proposal for apartments here.

20 cranes shares the record high since I began this account, though I’m told there was a higher total in the past. Indisputably, we’ll have a record of some sort next weekend, with the crane for the tallest building on the island of Ireland due to be erected.
