Path clear for €150m concert venue
An Bord Pleanála has granted permission to the joint venture between Heineken Ireland and builders BAM Property for the former Beamish & Crawford brewery site at South Main Street.
The appeals board upheld last July’s decision of Cork City Council to approve the 6,000-seat events centre at the 4.5-acre site, which also runs along the south channel of the River Lee overlooked by St Fin Barre’s Cathedral.
