Food capital plan on the menu for Cork City

Cork has initiated a €50,000 study in a bold step towards becoming the food capital of Ireland.

The city council has inv-ited consultants to prepare a feasibility study into the development of a national food centre in the city.

The brief for the €50,000 study requires the consultants to examine the potential of the derelict former Capitol Cinema complex on the city’s Grand Parade, along with the Oyster Tavern and Unitarian Church, to house the proposed centre.
