‘Ireland’s smartest building’ set to open in Cork

The new office block on Cork’s Albert Quay will be “Ireland’s smartest building” when it opens in two months time, according to one of its new tenants.

Donal Sullivan, general manager of Tyco Ireland, told attendees at the Cork Chamber/Irish Examiner Business Breakfast that there is a “great buzz” among staff at the fire prevention and security specialist ahead of its relocation from CityGate in Mahon.

Mr Sullivan said Tyco technology such as intruder detection, air quality control, cashless equipment and other innovations will be used in their domain, as well as energy-harvesting lifts that are connected to the building’s security clearance.
