Another outdoor food market is set to open in Cork as business continues to boom for small vendors.

Cobh resident Rob Coughlan has been working over the past number of weeks to convert five shipping containers into miniature takeaway restaurants, taking inspiration from locations including the popular Marina Market and Black Market at the city’s docklands.
