Joe O'Brien, CIF Director of the Southern Region, said: "The high attendance for this year's New Homes Fair has again shown that there is pent up demand for housing in Cork, and proven that the public are eager to find out more about what is available, with a view to buying."

He said: "Having spoken to all the companies that were involved in the New Homes Fair, I'm delighted to report that the night was a huge success. Based on the interest shown from the public, I am confident that this will result in a large number of sales.

"Companies reported that those in attendance have done their research well and know exactly what their budget is and the type of property they want." added Mr O'Brien.
