Cork docks revamp plan unveiled

A MULTI-BILLION euro blueprint to transform Cork’s south docks into a vibrant city quarter was unveiled in a blaze of publicity yesterday.

City manager Joe Gavin called on the public to engage and have their say in a process that will ultimately transform an area more than twice the size of the existing city.

He also confirmed that he expects two multi-million euro planning application within weeks — one for the strategic IAWS docks site — home to the city’s iconic grain silos, and the second for a site further west.
