€1bn Cork docklands plan gets go-ahead amid call for funding

THE ambitious €1 billion Atlantic Quarter project in Cork’s docklands got the green light from planners last night.

The mixed-use scheme, seen as a catalyst for the entire docklands regeneration, has the potential to create 4,800 jobs and provide homes for thousands of people.

Developers Howard Holdings welcomed the decision and called again on the Government to deliver funding for critical infrastructure to kickstart the city’s massive docklands regeneration.
