Cork tiles themselves are generally not made with asbestos, but some flooring materials from the 1950s could contain asbestos, especially if they are composite tiles or have a backing material. To determine if your cork tiles contain asbestos, it's best to have them tested by a professional. If you're concerned about potential asbestos exposure, avoid disturbing the tiles until you know for sure.

No. Asbestos was used in SOME floor coverings. Lino was basically a mix of linseed oil and filler materials, such as cork dust.

Crown had to contend with the possibility of bankruptcy due to asbestos-related court claims.
It is unlikely that these tiles would contain asbestos, but the only way to be certain is to have a sample analysed by a qualified lab. This kind of analysis probably costs $25 - $50 per sample, exclusive of the cost of a sampling technician's time to safely remove the sample.

The city is built on the River Lee
The average selling price for a house in Cork is going to depend on a number of things such as the size of the home and also the size of whole property.
Cork city is built on the river Lee, which flows into a part of the Atlantic Ocean that is sometimes referred to as the Celtic Sea. All of the county of Cork's coastline is along the Celtic Sea.
The cork will move up and down with the passing wave, but it will still remain on the surface. The cork's vibrational frequency can be related to the water wave's frequency if the wave causes the cork to vibrate at a similar rate as the wave passing by. This phenomenon is known as resonance, where the cork absorbs energy from the passing wave, causing it to vibrate at the same frequency.
