Mayor orders review of city’s sporting facilities

The Lord Mayor of Cork has announced a major review of the city’s sporting facilities to see what can be done to help the next generation of Irish Olympic athletes.

And Olympic walker, Rob Heffernan, who finished fourth in the 50km, said there is no reason why Cork could not become a national centre of excellence for certain Olympic sports.

“Ideally, we’d love to have an indoor track or stadium,” Rob said.
