affordable housing located on Hollyhill Lane and the Shanakiel Development at the top of the Blarney Road. In the early 21st century, plans were put in place to demolish the greater part of Knocknaheeny and rebuild it in phases. Locals were consulted but there was some resistance and reluctance by many who felt that the council held no regard for the sense of community and ties built up over the years. There was also some questioning of the City Council's relationship with Apple Inc., which planned expansion of their headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and wanted a new road built where houses stood. Concerns increased with Apple's subsequent plans to buy land that include part of an old pilgrimage route and a newer section of a main road circling the outside of the neighbourhood. Nevertheless, 2014 saw the first phase of rehousing. Those whose houses have to be demolished – both council-owned and privately-owned houses – were rehoused in neighbouring areas. Those who had purchased their houses from the city and who hadn't agreed to have the properties demolished had to wait for the alternative housing that the council offered, with some remaining in their homes while demolition occurred in the area. Knocknaheeny is part of the Dáil constituency of Cork North-Central. Amenities Schools Knocknaheeny's primary school is St. Mary's on the Hill, opened in 1981, which admits both boys and girls. In its early years it was granted an extension to deal with the then-large numbers of students. The secondary school is Terence MacSwiney Community College (formerly Scoil Mhic Shuibhne), which had approximately 800 students, and now houses, at its western end, a further education college known as CityNorth College. There has been a presence of Barnardo's children's charity in the area since the early 2000s. The Family Centre that was set up by the local Daughters of Charity, in the area's infancy, has been under the operation of the Health Service Initiative since the early 2000s. The centre runs a pre-school through the high-scope method and a creche. In the late 1970s and 1980s, there was a nursery school operating in Ardmore Avenue, but for various reasons (including lack of a teacher, building unsuitability and lower child population numbers) it had closed. Sport Local Soccer teams include Knocknaheeny Celtic, Central Rovers and Grattan United. Other sporting activities involve the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) sports hurling
