Like any good army, the Irish economy is marching back to full-bellied recovery on its stomach with up to a half-dozen new restaurants flooding into one section of Cork city alone. 

IF an army marches on its stomach, and an economy on its retail and restaurant expansion, then things are clearly picking up in Cork - with knives, forks and chopsticks at the ready in the ‘Asian Street Feud’ moves.

A DEAL worth around €16m has been reached on the first bank/receiver sale of an entire apartment and retail scheme in Cork, at suburban Dennehy’s Cross.
