Lord Mayor Cllr Mick Finn. Lord Mayor says government to blame for housing delays, not local authoritiesTHE LORD Mayor of Cork has slammed the Housing Minister's threat to remove power from local authorities for failing to deal with housing issues. Enabling works at Deanrock: the development is one of many which has taken too long to deliver, according to the Lord Mayor, Cllr Mick Finn. The Lord Mayor said local authorities haven’t been given the flexibility to work on the ground. “We invited the minister for housing to come to Cork not long after he was appointed to discuss some of the housing issues that are prevalent in Cork,” said the Lord Mayor.
