Docklands forum hugely significant, says Ahern

FOUR of the biggest landowners in Cork’s sprawling docklands confirmed last night they have combined to drive forward the region’s multibillion regeneration.

The Docklands Landowners Group made the announcement during Taoiseach Bertie Ahern’s visit to the city yesterday.

Mr Ahern was briefed by senior officials with developers Howard Holdings on their plans for a €1bn mixed-use project, which will include a conference centre, in the south docks.
