Former Cork soccer stadium to be knocked?

A former League of Ireland football ground is in line to become an office and commercial development, if a recent application to Cork County Council succeeds.

Former Cork soccer stadium to be knocked?

In plans lodged earlier this month, Cork-registered property company Soltaz Ltd has sought permission to demolish stadium structures at the former FAI grounds at Curraheen. Before its use by the FAI, the Bishopstown site was the home to Cork City FC in the 1990s.

The application proposes an office building of four to five storeys, to be constructed in two phases, and a single-storey café/restaurant. The site is next to the Curraheen Park greyhound stadium on the western outskirts of the city, just off the Ballincollig bypass.
