Not surprised, this area of Cork is rough. Apple has its offices there and the only somewhat reliable bus service connects their office to the city centre. Apple showed interest in improving the public transport only after years of their employees showing up late. Now the busses are more reliable.
Anything around the Apple office is fairly neglected, lots of abandoned buildings boarded up and litter everywhere. Although two big social housing projects are currently under development.
The "green" they're talking about is wasteland covered in litter and people park there already. The government might as well acknowledge the issue and not contribute to further escalation.
Is this a solution? No. Many of the housing issues could be fixed and funded with an appropriate corporate tax, but it's not like Irish politicians care more about their constituents than politicians elsewhere. Time to burn it down!!
Because it is the only distro I tried so far that works 90% smoothly for a MacBook with T2 chip. Wifi doesnt work yet.. but with fedora, ubuntu, mint, pear and debian I had no wifi, keyboard or trackpad.
