Historic city fort set to reopen

A historic fort in the heart of Cork City is finally poised to open to the public after years of campaigning.

Engineering consultants are working on the final stages of a safety audit on Elizabeth Fort, off Barrack St, which is due to be completed before the end of the month.

City officials are also working on plans to relocate the Garda barracks, based in the Office of Public Works-controlled fort.
