Key landowner backs docklands centre project

A key landowner in Cork’s sprawling south docklands has backed O’Callaghan Properties’ €50m Albert Quay events centre project.

Building an events centre on this quayside site could help kickstart the multibillion-euro regeneration of the city’s docklands, Origin Enterprises plc boss Tom O’Mahony said.

The agri-services group, which has activities in Ireland, Britain, Poland, and Ukraine, is a significant land owner in the sprawling south docklands area.
