An international anti-virus and cybersecurity company, Cylance, is to open offices on Cork city’s South Mall: a formal jobs announcement and commitment is due within days. It’s one of several new office moves on the South Mall, with Irish Life Health also taking space on the street from next week.

Construction cranes could be back on Cork City’s skyline next year, with plans being lodged today for a €50m eight-storey office block alongside City Hall.
