OCP O'Callaghan Properties apartments for Cork's south docks at Gouldings site the impact of this decision will be felt most harshly in the city centre with hopes that these proposed developments at Marino Point would pave the way for the wider regeneration of Cork's docklands and the construction of hundreds of new homes.  ABP refusal has brought ambitious redevelopment plans to a standstill and the construction of more than 1,300 city apartments indefinitely on hold planning for a new port facility on the site of the former Irish Fertiliser Industries (IFI) plant at Marino Point in Cobh was refused Applicants Goulding Soil Nutrition wanted to construct an agricultural fertiliser facility and develop the existing jetty at Marino Point to facilitate cargo vessels.  Currently based on Centre Park Road in the city the company hoped that the development would allow them to relocate to Marino Point allowing for more space on the city docklands to be used for housing.  ABP said the R624 road in Cobh would not be sufficient to cater to any traffic-intensive use noting that there are no current plans to upgrade the road in the application "The proposed development at Marino Point provides an opportunity to make use of the rail resource at Marino Point for rail-based freight distribution of product reducing the reliance of road-based transport in favour of more sustainable transport infrastructure," the planning board said developer O'Callaghan Properties (OCP) was granted planning for the largest residential development plan to date for the city at the Goulding site at Centre Park Road and Monahan Road.  The proposed development comprised 1,325 residential units and was expected to be worth around €600m Cork City Council's planning approval depended on a positive decision from ABP regarding Marino Point which would have allowed Goulding to relocate from the city Goulding said it will continue to operate from its Centre Park Road facility as it is unable to relocate to Marino Park.  This has put OCP's plans for the ambitious 1,325 residential development on the Gouldings site on indefinite hold creating a black hole in the heart of the docklands Picture: Denis ScannellSpeaking to the Irish Examiner OCP said the decision will have major negative implications for the provision of housing in Cork and for the development of Docklands "Its immediate impact is to prevent the development of 1,325 apartments for which O’Callaghan Properties secured planning permission in 2023 It also prevents the development of a further 500 apartments envisaged for the remaining portion of the Goulding site," OCP said.  which ABP was unsuitable to cater to an increase in traffic OCP said: "The contention in the ABP decision that somehow rail might reduce the reliance on road transportation for the activities of Goulding is simply untenable given the logistical requirements to distribute to individual farms throughout the region.  "The issues referenced in the ABP decision must be resolved if Docklands is to be developed and its potential fully realised." Cork Chamber described its a "setback" to the project Conor Healy adding: “ABP cited the lack of progress on the R624 as a factor in its decision this week to refuse planning permission for new port facilities in Marino Point.  the upgrade of the road is likely to take anywhere up to nine years; this needs to be accelerated in local and national development plans." Cork's docklands have been earmarked for extensive redevelopment which includes the planned construction of thousands of new residential units in the city.  Current plans for the area include a projected 20,000 units in the coming years across on a variety of sites works began on one of the largest apartment developments in Cork which will see more than 1,000 dockland apartments built in the city’s Marina Quarter the development at the former Ford Distribution site is among one of the most ambitious ever proposed so close to the city centre involves the construction of 12 apartment blocks OCP said the refusal undermines the potential of Cork Docklands to provide the quantum of housing units envisaged in the City Development Plan with the presence of Goulding "effectively sterilising a significant portion of the available development land in the Docklands" ABP's decision means that while the Marino Point site cannot be redeveloped neither can Goulding's current city centre facility.  While its largest project is now on indefinite hold OCP said the decision will not impact plans to develop commercial and residential units on Kennedy Quay ABP's decision will have a major impact on the number of homes that can be developed as part of the Docklands project.  As the Cork Chamber CEO noted: "The regeneration of the Docklands is of national strategic importance and is a vital project for Cork City and County particularly as the population of the city region is expected to grow by 50% in the years to 2040." other ambitious infrastructure plans for Cork fewer people will be able to avail of the proposed transport which may not bode well for future cost/benefit analyses of the project.  while ABP's decision relates to development in Cobh its impact will be felt miles beyond just Marino Point.  From as little as €1 a week with our digital introductory offer Already a subscriber?

You can subscribe to the Brainstorm podcast through Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts It is now a century since construction began at what was destined to become one of Dublin Corporation's most celebrated housing schemes, the Marino garden suburb this development was intended to be a model an example for others to look to and to learn from it is considered to be one of the early successes of the Free State and is a popular residential area with a distinctive appearance But it came into being in challenging circumstances and development here was not smooth. The suitability of the lands at Marino for housing had been identified long before construction began. Just two miles from the city centre, the area derived its name from Lord Charlemont's Marino House which was named for the Italian city which he had visited on his Grand Tour of Europe In 1910 James Walker, leaseholder of the land, had written to Dublin Corporation suggesting its suitability for a 'miniature garden city’. The garden city concept, originated by Ebenezer Howard in an 1898 publication had attained popularity as a potential solution to the serious problems facing cities at the turn of the twentieth century with its high death rates and one-room tenements We need your consent to load this YouTube contentWe use YouTube to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity. Please review their details and accept them to load the content.Manage Preferences Dr Ruth McManus on the history of social housing in Dublin But when it was built, Marino was more a garden suburb than a garden city in the true sense of the term. By 1914, the debate over building healthy new homes on greenfield sites rather than continuing a 'patchwork policy’ of central schemes was in full swing. Although the housing inquiry report published that spring held that the urgently-required 13,000 dwellings should be suburban many Corporation members felt that it would be detrimental to uproot communities and to force them to move to more costly new locations Both positions had their merits and the Marino site was still actively under consideration and three-roomed houses on the 50 acre site at Marino the rapidly deteriorating political situation meant this did not proceed additional land had been acquired and another new set of plans was drawn up This would be the largest scheme built by Dublin Corporation to date with almost 1300 five-roomed houses in two sections (431 on the original 50-acre Marino site and 852 in the 90-acre Croydon Park extension) The ‘desirability of making the scheme a model one’ was emphasised due to many ‘exceptional advantages of the site’ Jacinta Prunty on the origins of the Dublin housing crisis in the 1910s Ideas about housing layout and standards had evolved, especially following Britain’s 1918 Tudor Walters report baths and hot water plumbing were included as was the norm in most inner-city tenements with the expectation that new residents would grow some of their own food both practical and aesthetic elements were important Lower housing densities of under 12 houses to the acre would allow for freer circulation of healthy fresh air while houses were wider and positioned to maximise sunlight A more varied geometric layout replaced the grid-like layouts of previous schemes with varied house styles grouped in blocks of eight three or in pairs around open green areas and culs-de-sac A variety of materials (Irish where possible) and different construction methods were used The idealistic plans for Marino soon hit problems Massive war-time inflation in building costs had still not subsided While Dublin Corporation stated from the outset that Marino was to be a model scheme with ‘superior’ dwellings it was constrained by the government’s funding criteria which capped the building costs under which houses would qualify for the ‘million pound grant’ This impacted the development in a number of ways As it was believed that building costs would soon begin to fall contracts were awarded for individual sections of about 200 houses each Four major contractors were involved: H. & J. Martin, G. & T. Crampton, John Kenny and Paul Kossel such as using concrete or tiles instead of granite sills in some of the houses it was decided to make savings by leaving out the bathrooms Meanwhile, there was a significant delay to building works in the summer of 1924 due to a strike by members of the newly-formed Workers' Union of Ireland over union recognition The stoppage put 700 men out of work until September Some 240 houses had been completed by the time of the stoppage The delays were a further blow to the scheme #buildingireland So what was so special about Marino… Orla interviews Ruth McManus. Catch the whole story later at 8.30pm on @RTEOne pic.twitter.com/UUbN0Vksqj ensuring a good appearance and a more diverse income profile so that a 'reserved areas' policy was followed in all future Dublin Corporation developments The Marino houses were not for rental, but would instead be sold through'tenant purchase. Dublin Corporation first applied this system at Fairbrother’s Fields (known as The Tenters) which was also completed under the million pound grant the purchase rental paid by each tenant was used to pay for the house and the tenant eventually became the full owner Selling the houses would reduce ongoing costs for the Corporation and reduce the burden on the rate-payers It was cheaper to sell the houses at a loss than to continue to rent houses on weekly tenancies at uneconomic rents (i.e rents which did not cover the construction costs) While this was largely a pragmatic decision it was also hoped that home ownership would inspire a greater civic spirit among tenant purchasers The tenant purchase policy meant that only better-off workers with stable incomes could afford to live there Marino was for ‘the aristocracy of labour in Dublin’ The poorest tenement dwellers would only benefit through a process of ‘levelling up’ when the rooms vacated by families moving to Marino were freed up for other renters the houses were immediately oversubscribed Following a previous scandal over housing allocation at Fairbrothers’ Fields a new allocation process was used at Marino an application form and prioritisation by family size When the first 248 houses were advertised for tenant purchase in 1925 All of the successful applicants for the first tranche of houses had at least eight family members The houses were sold with a repayment term of 40 years at 5% per annum for between £400 and £440 (or 15 shillings to 16 shillings 1 pence weekly) No deposit was required and those who had the funds could pay for the property outright Marino was a testing ground for a number of Dublin Corporation housing policies which influenced the city for many years to come it was (and remains) a beautiful housing scheme where residents could escape appalling slum conditions It's a reminder that it is possible to provide quality housing even in difficult circumstances and with many compromises if there is a will to do so The Marino scheme is one of the developments which will feature in the forthcoming exhibition Housing the People, Building the State.

San Marino made history by winning a competitive match for the first time with victory against Liechtenstein in the Nations League the world's lowest ranked team by Fifa also ended the longest winless run in football stretching back two decades and 140 games to when they won a friendly back in 2004 - also against Liechtenstein and by the same scoreline The decisive goal on Thursday was scored by 19-year-old Nicko Sensoli who wasn't born at the time of San Marino's last victory lobbing goalkeeper Benjamin Buchel to spark wild celebrations among the players San Marino then defended resolutely to secure the historic result after many years of heavy losses The minnows have lost 196 of the 206 fixtures they have contested and were thrashed 10-0 by England in a World Cup qualifier back in November 2021 But they have shown signs of improvement since then In October last year they scored their first competitive goal in two years but were narrowly beaten 2-1 by Denmark in a Euro 2024 qualifier And in March they drew 0-0 with Caribbean side Saint Kitts and Nevis Surrounded by Italy and overlooked by the spectacular Mount Titano San Marino has a population of just 33,000 and covers a mere 61 square kilometres - roughly half the size of Manchester 'Dream with no limits' - world's worst team bid to make history The BBC is not responsible for any changes that may be made Wolfinger Match OfficialsReferee: Andris TreimanisVideo Assistant Referee: Kristaps RatnieksAssistant Referee 1: Haralds GudermanisAssistant Referee 2: Aleksejs SpasjonnikovsFourth Official: Aleksandrs GolubevsAssistant VAR Official: Andrejs GluhovsMatch StatsKey Martin Marxer (Liechtenstein) header from the centre of the box is close Assisted by Marcel Büchel with a cross following a set piece situation Dante Rossi (San Marino) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul Ferhat Saglam (Liechtenstein) wins a free kick on the right wing Sandro Wolfinger (Liechtenstein) wins a free kick in the defensive half Livio Meier (Liechtenstein) wins a free kick in the defensive half Andrea Contadini (San Marino) right footed shot from a difficult angle on the left is blocked Tommaso Benvenuti (San Marino) wins a free kick in the defensive half Sandro Wieser (Liechtenstein) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul Fourth official has announced 7 minutes of added time Sandro Wolfinger (Liechtenstein) wins a free kick on the right wing Parker (Gary Cole) is coming face-to-face with his longtime nemesis, Carla Marino (Rebecca De Mornay), in the NCIS Season 22 finale and CBS has released photos offering a look at just that The penultimate episode of Season 22 aired on Monday, April 28, and it ended with Deputy Director Laroche (Seamus Dever) whom McGee has been certain all season is dirty and the Nexus mole only to reveal that there’s more to what’s going on than the team knows “It’s time you know the truth,” he said In the finale, “team dynamics are going to be challenged because we may not have the leadership that we’re used to,” Reasonover teased to TV Insider in March “I know the fans have really been kind of craving a little bit more long-form storytelling This season ends with some of those longer story arcs that you have been hoping for so we’re going to satisfy a lot of people Check out the “Nexus” photos below then head to the comments section to let us know your theories for the NCIS Season 22 finale What has Kasie (Diona Reasonover) and McGee (Sean Murray) smiling There’s no way that Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) and Knight (Katrina Law) found anything good in this place Parker (Gary Cole) can’t be happy about working with Carla (Rebecca De Mornay) Those are the looks of three members of NCIS who don’t trust the person in front of them Sign Up San Marino – Gabry Ponte – Tutta L’Italia to watch some of all five bastard days of Sanremo for you This bloody song because it was the theme for it all I’m also pissed at the company that RAI owns  because not only did they put a selection show together and then completely rip up the format at the last minute they also introduced ringers into the selection and this was one of them Fucking…pointless for anyone with talent to take part in the early stages It also takes the piss that the song itself is talking about Italy And that could be a kick in the teeth for all concerned if anyone bothered to listen to the song properly Lisa-Jayne Lewis of this parish would say that this song is a “vibe” (Reader – I don’t know what this means properly I’m just using it to get down with the kids) but we all know what happens when you let DJs loose with songs – yes Gromee I’m looking at you This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Regardless of age, skill level or talent, an athlete is bound to suffer at least one defeat in their career. Losing rarely defines the identity of a team, but for the "Titani" - San Marino’s Men’s National Football Team - it was a fact of life for more than 20 years. Yes, the boys in sky blue and white went an astonishing 140 matches without a single win. There were moments of brilliance and near triumph in between defeats, but the Titani earned a reputation as one of the world’s worst national teams. Even their most steadfast supporters, the "Brigata Mai 1 Gioia," which translates to the “Never Any Joy Brigade,” were keenly aware of the team’s unfortunate losing streak. Nevertheless, years of heartbreak, anguish and dimming hope were ceremoniously dismissed by midfielder Nicko Sensoli, when he scored the winning goal in San Marino’s match against Liechtenstein at Stadio Olimpico in Serravalle, San Marino on 5 September. The victory made headlines around the world and brought a sense of undeniable joy to the small nation located entirely inside Italy. It was a feeling the team, their fellow countrymen and supporters around the world hadn’t felt in years. However, one lingering question remained: could the Titani taste victory once more this season? Picture by Christian Hofer/Getty Images 2024San Marino players line up for the national anthem prior to the international friendly match between San Marino and Slovakia San Marino became a member of both UEFA and FIFA in 1988 The Titani played their first-ever international match against Switzerland on 14 November 1990 The team’s unceremonious foray into international football would continue for nearly three years until the Tatani held Turkey to a 0-0 draw on 10 March 1993 The Titani followed up their historic victory with 61 consecutive defeats before finally earning a 0-0 draw against Estonia on 15 November 2014 There were faint glimpses of hope along the way - a pair of draws with Liechtenstein and Gibraltar in 2020 an encouraging series of friendlies with Saint Lucia in 2022 - but no joy was felt by players or fans of the Titani San Marino was the worst national team in the world - officially They entered the year ranked 210th (last place) in the FIFA world rankings Picture by REUTERS/Alberto LingriaSan Marino coach Roberto Cevoli The San Marino Football Federation (FSGC) appointed Roberto Cevoli an Italian-born footballer with personal and sporting links to the small nation as manager of the men’s national team at the start of the year His short time at the helm saw many roster changes, including the debut of promising young players like Nicko Sensoli. There was a real buzz in the air amongst supporters of the team that victory might be within the grasp of the Titani at the start of the year. A pair of friendly matches against Saint Kitts and Nevis caught the attention of football fans far and wide, but victory evaded the Titani once more. While the boys in sky blue and white suffered further defeats against Slovakia and Cyprus in June, extending their losing streak to 140 matches, the ever-familiar faint glimmer of hope began to take root within the steadfast supporters of San Marino’s national team, as a UEFA Nations League match against Liechtenstein loomed on the horizon. Was victory possible for the Titani, or would it be yet another heartbreaking loss to extend the infamous losing streak? View this post on Instagram A post shared by FSGC | official (@fsgc_official) Joy was going to be the theme of the UEFA Nations League D match between Liechtenstein and San Marino Liechtenstein arrived at the match with an active losing streak of 39 matches while a few players on San Marino’s team hadn't even been born the last time the team won an international match local and far-flung members of the “Never Any Joy Brigade” flocked to Stadio Olimpico in Serravalle San Marino with hopes of witnessing the rarest of wins for the Titani Their hopes were nearly dashed in the first half when Liechtenstein’s Fabio Luque Notaro found the back of the net at least in the view of the Sammarinese faithful the goal was disallowed after an offside ruling by VAR The first half would conclude with both teams tied at 0-0 San Marino was given a second chance at victory and Nicko Sensoli wasn’t about to squander it the 19-year-old charged towards a poorly defended ball and poked a goal past Liechtenstein's goalkeeper His teammates greeted him with a warm embrace after the goal and fought hard to maintain the lead his strike created as joy returned to San Marino at long last "A lot of the more experienced players in the team have dreamt of this moment for many years,” explained the newly minted national hero. “Some of them are coming to the end of their careers and to achieve something like this can only bring them joy and happiness. It’s why I’m so passionate. We all deserved to be a part of this moment.” For the first time in 20 years, the world’s worst national team felt like they were on top of the world.
