Progress in talks on Cork city events centre

The chief executive of Cork City Council has reported significant progress in talks designed to deliver the city’s first major events centre.

Ann Doherty insisted that there is “nothing serious” stalling the project, but she said it is still not possible to predict a start date for the multimillion-euro project which is set to receive €20m in public funding.

She was speaking last night after delivering an update to councillors on the status of the talks.
