Garden revamp in base mix-up

The curse of the Sky Garden has struck again.

Contractors working on the revamp of Cork’s Fitzgerald’s Park, where a scaled-back version of Diarmuid Gavin’s award-winning Chelsea Flower Show garden is being installed, have had to dig up a large concrete plinth after a problem was discovered with the mix.

However, a city council spokesman insisted that the problem will not add to the cost of the park’s €2.3m revamp, and will not delay the delivery date of the project.
