Glanmire's derelict mill site for sale for €575,000
Overlooking Sarsfield GAA club and a currently under development of c 30 units being constructed by Brightwater developments, the long-derelict and overgrown mill and fire-damaged former residence mill house is priced at €575,000 by estate agent Robert Coughlan of Cohalan Downing, acting for a private vendor with long associations with the site.
Ballinglanna Mills & Mill House
Zoned as 'sustainable residential neighbourhoods,' it's close to the long-established Brookfield estate, near a Lidl, and almost unnecessarily is described as 'available with the benefit of vacant possession' because it has been idle for decades.
Despite a long mill history in the Glanmire/Riverstown valley just east of Cork City noted for a number of 18th and 19th mills along the Glashaboy River, for cloth mills, distiller and grains, it fronts the Cliff Road and is above the river level on an slightly elevated, hillside setting.
This is heavily treed, and has a right of way over an adjoining access road serving the new development alongside its long boundary.
Ballinglanna Mills & Mill House
It's approximately 2.5 acres and while the mill activity is now historic, part of the site with hardstanding has been used in more recent decades for commercial storage. It may have short-term use for a buyer/occupier for similar, if cleared back, pending later development, it has been suggested.
'It's only on a few days and the interest to date is more from the residential development sector,' says Mr Coughlan, who adds that the price at €575k 'reflects the nature of the site,' with the former mill a protected structure.
With an overgrown pedestrian link to the Brookville estate, it's close to Riverstown village/neighbourhood centre with a Lidl and commercial/community services, about 1km from the extensive Hazelwood Shopping Centre.
The Ballinglanna Glanmire name has been resurrected from its venerable mills past to now be widely known for the 600-home scheme of the same name completed by O'Flynn Group, which is about to embark on a further major development at Dunkathel House, after a c 20-year wait.
Now part of Cork City after a boundary extension, its zoning in the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 is 'sustainable residential neighbourhoods' 'to protect and provide for residential uses and amenities, local services and community, institutional, educational and civic uses'.

Food Safety Authority of Ireland enforced closures of several businesses this summer
A Dublin branch of German supermarket giant Lidl and a popular tourist hotel in Tralee, County Kerry are just two of the businesses that were forced to close their doors under orders issued by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) in July. Ten closure orders in total were handed out by the FSAI last month, including the Lidl store on the Sallynoggin Road in Glenageary, Dublin, where the entire premises was ordered to close after rodent droppings were found in multiple locations across the shop floor and the store room. The report also detailed what was described as 'extensive food debris' on the floor of the store room, and 'large amounts of foodstuffs' in areas where rodent droppings were visible on the floors. Photo: Sam Boal/ A live mouse was even observed scampering across the floor in the store room by two environmental health officials, inspecting the store. The order on the store, issued on July 29th, was lifted on August 1st and the HSE conducted a review and approved the store for reopening. In response to the order, a spokesperson for Lidl said 'providing a clean, safe and enjoyable shopping experience for all of our customers is of the utmost importance to us' and the retail giant takes food safety issues 'extremely seriously'. A live mouse was even observed scampering across the floor in the store room by two environmental health officials, inspecting the store. Pic: Shutterstock Lidl has stated that it has since fully collaborated with the HSE and taken necessary steps, including hiring a professional pest control service, conducting a deep clean and full sanitation of the store, and pest-proofing the premises to prevent future issues. Lidl has also reasssured customers that a full internal review of processes has been carried out to ensure cleanliness and food safety at the store. 'We understand and apologise for the concern this has caused and would like to assure our customers that the issue was addressed fully and efficiently', Lidl said.

The Brandon Hotel suffered what's been described as a 'significant cockroach infestation' in a number of areas of the hotel, including dead roaches in the main kitchen, under fridges, and on the floors of the wash-up area and even the staff canteen. Live cockroaches were even seen in the hotel's restaurant. The closure order was lifted on July 25th. Pic: Getty Images Meanwhile, even theme parks do not escape the scourge of the pests, with a storage unit at the rear of a coffee dock in Emerald Park in Ashbourne, Co Meath closed for a time on July 14th after rat droppings were found in the unit. Environmental inspectors found rodent droppings in an area used for storing food and items like cups, lids, straws, food containers and trays and their report noted that the unit was not pest-proof, with holes in the walls. A number of other businesses hit with closure orders over the past number of weeks include a Londis store on Connaught Street in Athboy, County Meath, Creeds foodstore in Cahir, County Tipperary, and KRS Catering Stall in Clonmel, County Tipperary. Tim Nessa on John's Street in Limerick was served a closure order, as was the Costa Coffee on Dublin's Dawson Street. Wakami Sushi and Asian and Hidden Dojo Asian Streetfood, both based on Phibsborough Road in Dublin, were also forced to close. Pic: Shutterstock The Food Safety Authority of Ireland said that recent incidents involving foodstuffs serve as a stark reminder of the need for businesses handling food to maintain the highest standards of food safety, and that customers are entitled to expect that the food they purchase is safe. The report from the FSAI went on to say that 'Every food business must take its responsibility to comply with food safety law seriously. The FSAI can provide support and advice to food businesses to help them meet their obligations.' 'However, as demonstrated by the enforcement actions this month, where food businesses do not comply with their obligations, we will take action.'

Advertisement The closure order was lifted on 1 August. A storage unit in Emerald Park was also closed after rat droppings were found in the unit on 7 July, which also stored food, reusable cups, straws and lids.

Costa Coffee on Dawson Street, Co Dublin, was served a closure order due to the presence of rat droppings in the dishwasher room, food store, and customer entrance, on 2 July, which was lifted on 4 July.

During an inspection of Wakami Sushi and Asian on 7 July, in Phibsborough, Co Dublin, inspectors noted that the food business did not provide adequate means for staff to wash hands in the kitchen, with one sink not having soap or a towel. They noted infrequent handwashing in the kitchen and said owners and staff were not wearing clean protective clothing during food preparation. FSAI chief Greg Dempsey, said 'recent foodborne incidents serve as a stark reminder of the need for food businesses to maintain the highest food safety standards.' 'Consumers are entitled to expect that the food they purchase is safe, and food businesses have a clear legal and moral responsibility to ensure that it is. The Enforcement Orders issued this month reflect serious, preventable breaches of food safety law,' he said. 'Every food business must take its responsibility to comply with food safety law seriously. The FSAI can provide support and advice to food businesses to help them meet their obligations. However, as demonstrated by the enforcement actions this month, where food businesses do not comply with their obligations, we will take action.'
