Water-rock explained

Water-rock [1] is a townland in the historical barony of Barrymore in County Cork, Ireland.[1] Located in East Cork, near Midleton,[2] the townland has an area of approximately 1.2km2.[3] While, at the time of the 2011 census, Water-rock had a population of 128 people,[4] in 2015 Cork County Council published a plan for "significant" residential development in the area.[5] [6] The "Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy 2040" (CMATS), a public consultation document published in 2019 by the National Transport Authority, listed Water-rock as one of several potential locations for a future Cork Suburban Rail station.[7] [8] As of late 2022, Cork Corporation had reportedly commenced some road and water infrastructure works in the area.[9] Waterrock golf course closed in 2020.[10]
