Leading Cork visitor attraction to shut doors

The operators of one of Cork City’s top free visitor attractions will close its doors to the public for the last time today.

However, the Cork Civic Trust, which has managed the Cork Vision Centre at St Peter’s on North Main St on behalf of Cork City Council for 17 years, insisted last night it plans to reinvent the free exhibition space concept elsewhere, and soon.

“We expect to make an announcement on that before the end of October,” trust chair Michael Mulcahy said.
