Cork 'could host events like Pendulum Summit'

There will be a wave of fresh investment in Cork once the long-mooted event centre is finally built to host events of the size of Dublin's Pendulum Summit, business leaders have said.

Cork publican and businessman Benny McCabe, owner of the Bodega and other city centre bars, said there were many like him "just waiting to pull the trigger" on new investment once the event centre was built on the South Main Street site after years of stalled progress.
