City centre construction go-ahead will create 300 jobs

THREE hundred construction jobs will be created in Cork following yesterday’s decision by An Bord Pleanála to give the go-ahead for the demolition of Government buildings.

The much-reviled office block on Sullivan’s Quay is to be replaced by a €120 million glass and steel development of shops, offices and an hotel on the high-profile city site.

Bam Property, (formerly Ascon/Rohcon), received full permission yesterday with conditions described as “nothing unusual” by Bam’s Tom Galvin.
