350 jobs promised in €210m quay project

DEVELOPER Owen O’Callaghan is to seek planning permission this week for a €210 million office-led scheme on Cork city’s quays, and has promised an even more significant further office development in a year’s time.

The positive announcement, which promises 350 building jobs on one scheme alone, comes at a time of an overall slowdown in the construction and development sectors.

Planning is being sought for a site close to Cork city’s bus and railway stations, on Anderson’s Quay.
