Council to rent kitchens to firms

Cork County Council is to open two industrial-sized kitchens in Carrigaline before the year end which will be available to small-scale artisan food producers.

The local authority is also planning to complete similar kitchen amenities in its north and West Cork divisions, through its Economic Development Fund (EDF) in an effort to allow such businesses to produce more.

Ger Power, the council’s head of finance, said the kitchens will be built at a council-owned building at Kilnaglery Business Park in Carrigaline.
