Holiday at home? Feel the heat at Cork's Farnanes/Ovens where home has a sauna and BBQ + pizza oven
YOU don't have to go to the seaside, beaches or holiday hideaways for mobile saunas, mobile food trucks and a good time in the sun – you have the option here, to hand, on the doorstep, of this Currahaly, Farnanes family home. Get cookin' Set in Cork's Lee Valley, out along the N22 heading to Macroom and Kerry, 20 minutes from Cork's western suburbs and 10 or 15 mins from Ballincollig and EMC, this fresh-to-market offer is a detached family home on a south-facing, half acre site. It's one in a row of one-offs (all pretty substantial in size too) parallelling the N22, and comes with a detached garage/self contained studio apartment, outdoor barbecue area with pergola and wood-fired pizza oven. Indoors the main family bathroom has an infra-red sauna, so it's quite the self contained lifestyle property in its own right. Oh, and it even has a current layout with one of its front bedrooms being used as a home cinema, but the sale right now does not include the projector, or the wide screen, so new owners will have to make their own 'Coming Soon' plans for it. The spacious family home is listed with a €550,000 AMV via agent Michaella Buckley of O'Mahony Walsh in Ballincollig, who says it's immaculately maintained, on an attractively landscaped mature site with lots of trees and long, slightly elevated views over the Bride valley. One of its four/five bedrooms is en suite; at ground there are two reception rooms, home office and guest WC, utility/laundry and pine fitted kitchen with island and side access to the outdoor entertainment area, with decked base and Perspex roof/pergola sheltering the cooking equipment, gas grill, sink and integrated pizza oven. The Price Register shows over 20 sales in the past 15 years with a Currahaly address, with just three over €500,000, with two in the past two years, in 2023, Aisling at €580,000 and Rosemount House at €665,000, plus a further €100,000 for its lodge, in Farnanes' Lower Currahaly. VERDICT: Lots to enjoy in a setting just off the N22 and west of the city, 'burbs and Ballincollig, with the amenities of Farran, the wood and Inniscarra lake a few miles to the north, and Killarney now an easier reach to the west since the opening of the €200m Macroom bypass.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Two of these companies will be allotted land in the upcoming Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) 2.0 in Sector 10, which spans 206 acres. Ascent-K Circuit will receive 16 acres to manufacture high-end printed circuit boards (PCBs), including HDI, flex, multilayer types, and semiconductor substrates, while Aurionpro ToshiAutomatic Systems, which specialises in industrial automation and smart transit and mobility solutions, will be allotted five acres as a member of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under the central govt's EMC 2.0 scheme. Both units will be a part of the cluster approved by the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY), with Havells India Ltd, the anchor investor, already securing an allotment of 50 acres. The EMC 2.0 project received in-principle approval from MeitY in April this year. Amber Enterprises India Ltd, of which Ascent is a part, will be allotted another 100 acres in Sector 8 to manufacture copper-clad laminates, PCB assemblies, consumer electronics, and home appliances. Amber and Ascent together are expected to invest around Rs 4,000 crore across the two projects. Ascent is also expected to form a joint venture with some Korean firms for the PCB manufacturing venture. YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh confirmed that the land allotments are subject to approval by the Invest UP empowered committee and state policy guidelines. "Land acquisition is underway in Sector 8 and the LoI for the 100-acre plot, along with others, is provisional, pending regulatory clearances," he added. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These companies are the latest in a growing list of firms investing in the YEIDA region near the Noida International Airport. At least eight companies have announced plans to invest nearly Rs 12,000 crore in the region, driven by the dedicated industrial parks and state's FDI and Fortune 500 investment policies. Among those that have already secured land allotments is Fuji Silvertech Concrete Pvt Ltd, an Indo-Japanese joint venture, which is setting up a precast concrete product manufacturing unit on 20 acres in Sector 32. It was the first company to be allotted land under Uttar Pradesh's new FDI policy announced in November 2023. TI Medical Private Limited, a joint venture between the Fortune India 500-listed Tube Investments of India (TII) of the Murugappa Group and Premji Invest, has secured an 11-acre plot in the Medical Device Park in Sector 28. Minda Corporation Limited, in partnership with Korea's Daesung and India's Loconav, has been allotted 22 acres in Sector 24 to produce ignition switches and steering locks for automobiles. Additionally, Minda has proposed a separate project in Sector 10 to manufacture wire harnesses and other automotive components on 10 acres, which has been approved by the state's empowered committee.

Govt gearing up for 3rd electronics manufacturing cluster in U.P.
After announcing electronics manufacturing clusters (EMC) along Yamuna Expressway and at Greater Noida, the Yogi government is now gearing up to develop a third EMC in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The government will be making the policy changes soon in order to attract IT firms to the eastern part of the state by offering more incentives to them. Recently, a semiconductor unit by Foxconn and HCL was okayed by the Centre near the Jewar airport in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area. The new semiconductor unit – the first in Uttar Pradesh – is expected to attract an investment of ₹3,700 crore. Confirming the development, state's IT and electronics minister Sunil Kumar Sharma told HT, 'EMC 1 is about to start and we have also announced EMC 2 in Greater Noida. One such cluster creates around 70,000 to 80,000 employment opportunities. Soon we will be starting work on EMC 3, which will be in eastern Uttar Pradesh.' 'As companies are more attracted towards NCR, we will be seeking to make changes in the policy and give some more incentives to the companies which decide to come to East U.P,' he said. The EMC 1 of 100 acres located at YEIDA Sector 10, along the Yamuna Expressway, aims to be a modern electronics manufacturing hub, with Havells setting up a domestic appliance facility. The EMC 2 of 210 acres in Greater Noida is likely to facilitate the growth of the electronics system design manufacturing (ESDM) sector in the region. The EMCs will function as manufacturing zones, promoting the growth of the ESDM sector by providing a robust infrastructure base for electronic manufacturing industries. The clusters will support various electronic verticals, including consumer electronics, lighting, power electronics, computers/IT, and telecom equipment, along with their entire value chain. 'The companies are getting attracted to Uttar Pradesh on their own as no one can force them to do so. Our CM Yogi Ji has given such an environment in the state which is favourable for doing business. There is trust that all the commitments by the government will be fulfilled,' state's IT and electronics minister Sunil Kumar Sharma said. 'Law and order, ease of doing business, single window system and all the help given to the businessmen by the government contribute towards bringing big companies to the state,' he added. 'Our vision is to make Uttar Pradesh a leading state in electronics production, one semi-conductor unit has come to the state and we have already sent a proposal for another one. That will be an investment of 28,000 crore, approval for it is awaited from the Government of India,' Sharma said. On developing the state capital region as the next AI hub, he said, 'Now IBM has also come in Lucknow. It is a big company in itself and HCL is also expanding in Lucknow. We are also looking to make a start-up hub in Greater Noida and Lucknow and the project is in the pipeline. We have got in-principle nod for the same and the work is underway.' 'We all know that there are a lot of big companies in Noida and Greater Noida and it is a kind of saturation in the NCR now. Our effort now is to focus on other cities like Lucknow and Varanasi. At the moment, we are focusing on Lucknow to develop it as IT and AI hub,' the minister added. The Uttar Pradesh government has already started 'AI Pragya' programme to impart training in artificial intelligence (AI) to 10 lakh people from various fields in the state by the end of 2025 to skill them in various dimensions of this technology and its use-based aspect. The aim is to bring new employment opportunities and enhance the administrative structure of the state, healthcare, education, agriculture among other sectors. On giving incentives to the tech and IT companies coming to the state, Sharma said, 'In the last seven years, due to some reasons, no company had got any incentives. Last year when I took charge of the department, the budget of the department was ₹400 crore. In the previous year, we issued incentives worth ₹408 crore. For remaining companies who had been given letter of comfort, I have directed officials to expediate their process. We are giving incentives to all the companies without any bias.'

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is in effect for Rome, Dalton and Calhoun until 7:30 p.m. and until 7 p.m. for Summerville, Waring, Fort Oglethorpe, LaFayette and Fairview. ORIGINAL STORY Metro Atlanta and much of North Georgia remain under the threat of severe weather as multiple rounds of strong storms are forecast to sweep through the region through Memorial Day and into Tuesday. The first line of storms began pushing into northwest Georgia on Saturday, bringing gusty winds, hail, and isolated tornado warnings. While the chance of tornadoes has decreased, damaging winds of up to 70 miles per hour, moderate hail, and intense downpours remain a serious concern. Localized flooding is also possible in areas hit hardest by these systems. As of Sunday evening, the National Weather Service issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for portions of the region until 7 p.m., and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until midnight for counties Bartow, Polk and Pickens. That watch may expand depending on how the storm system develops. The next significant line of storms is expected to impact cities such as Rome, Carrollton, and metro Atlanta between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m., with peak intensity likely after midnight. For more weather coverage and the latest local forecast, visit the FOX 5 weather page. Another wave of severe weather is possible Monday night, with the strongest storms expected between 9 p.m. and midnight, continuing into the early hours of Tuesday. These late-night systems may bring more intense wind gusts, heavy rain, and small hail. While forecast models have shown inconsistencies, there is clear potential for severe conditions due to sufficient atmospheric energy. Most of Georgia remains under a Level 1 (Marginal Risk) for severe weather, but parts of west and east Georgia to a Level 2 (Slight Risk) — indicating a greater likelihood of severe thunderstorms in those areas. Despite unsettled conditions, residents may catch a brief break in the rain late Monday morning through early afternoon, which could allow some Memorial Day celebrations to proceed. Still, everyone is urged to remain alert, especially during the evening and overnight hours when storms are most likely. Temperatures will stay in a seasonal range, with daytime highs in the low 80s and overnight lows in the upper 60s. Rain and storm chances will continue into Tuesday and possibly beyond, with repeated threats of damaging winds, frequent lightning, and periods of heavy rain. Get location-based weather alerts on your mobile device by downloading the FOX 5 weather app and allowing notifications. Officials are encouraging the public to monitor real-time updates, have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, and avoid outdoor activities during active warnings. With storm strength and timing still variable, the risk for sudden, severe weather remains high across much of the state.

Factory workers' complex along e-way to boost MSMEs, startups in Noida
Noida: Eleven flatted factory complexes, each tailored for the proposed industrial parks—medical device, semiconductor, IT, apparel and toy—are set to come up off the Yamuna expressway. The multi-storey industrial buildings will offer around 3,000 affordable and ready-to-use industrial spaces, primarily to (Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) MSMEs and startups, which often lack the capital to establish large-scale standalone factories due to high land allotment costs spurred by Noida International Airport and International Film City, officials said. Flatted factory complex is a multi-storeyed industrial building subdivided into small, separately occupied units, which are used for manufacturing, assembly, and storage purposes. These complexes have separate elevators for goods. The first flatted factory is to come up in Sector 28 where 74 large plots have been allotted for the 350-acre medical device park. The five-acre flatted factory, to be built at an estimated Rs 125 crore, will have 240 units with a mix of 50 units of 120 sqm, 60 of 90 sqm and 126 of 60 sqm. The second complex is to come up in Sector 10 to support the 206-acre electronics manufacturing cluster (EMC) with 228 units along with facilities like a convention centre, a 45-bed hostel, a daycare facility and a 500-seat skill development centre. Two large plots measuring 20,234 sqm and 44,515 sqm have been earmarked for additional flatted factories. CEO Arun Vir Singh said the Authority will lease, not sell, these units to make it easier for emerging businesses to set up operations without the burden of land ownership. Seventy-five per cent of these units will be reserved for MSMEs and 25% for startups. Similar flatted factory projects are also being planned in other parks such as apparel, handicrafts, IT park, data park, semiconductor, EV, and aviation sectors to further support small and emerging enterprises. YEIDA has also initiated a process to appoint a consultant for designing and managing the infrastructure development of Sector 10, where a tech hub is planned, at an estimated cost of over Rs 450 crore.
