THE city centre garage site of the former motor dealership, PJ O’Hea’s, which was in business for 87 years, has been put up for sale a decade after its short-lived relocation to East Gate.

New owners of Cork city’s Metropole Hotel are the Philips Hotel Group, who acquired the Cork International Airport Hotel, for c €5m, back in 2012.

Removing Cork Airport’s “lifeline routes” would have a massive detrimental impact on the airport and put jobs in nearby businesses at risk, according to the manager of two Cork hotels.
