Finbarr House is situated right next to University College Cork (UCC) on the Western Road.

What’s strange is that it is a rundown building in the perfect location for renting to students: right in front of the University. Who knew there was an Irish property owner who didn’t want to make a few Euro on the side?

Yeah, UCC probably own it. Given the speed at which educational institutions move it might be left in that state for years!

Good shot. I pass by there regularly and never considered the photo opportunity.

It’s probably tied up in some legal battle or something. I see a lot of these buildings scattered throughout the country and anytime I ask the answer is almost invariably that there is some issue over ownership.

I’m guessing from the car park barrier that the building is owned by UCC; no doubt they have long term plans for it.
