An Taisce objects to brewery site plan

AN TAISCE has joined heritage campaigners in lodging an appeal against plans for a €150 million redevelopment of the Beamish and Crawford site in Cork.

The proposal, a joint venture by Heineken Ireland and Bam Construction, includes a 6,000-seat events centre, cinemas, retail, offices and student accommodation housed in seven buildings ranging in height from four to seven stories.

The proposed developments are on the four-acre riverside site at South Main Street.
