Rail station key to city development

THE redevelopment of Iarnród Éireann Horgan’s Quay site in Cork city is one of the most crucial elements of the city’s draft development plan published yesterday.

The strategic document, which is available for public consultation, outlines the objectives for the sustainable development and improvement of the city until 2015.

It earmarks the docklands, poised for a multi-billion-euro regeneration programme, the north Blackpool valley, Mahon, the Tramore Road area, and the Port of Cork docks site in Tivoli, for significant future development.
