Tenders published to turn Cork City home of George Boole into visitor centre

The redevelopment of the former Cork City home of maths genius George Boole as a visitor centre and business and research hub takes a major step forward this week.

Tenders have been published seeking expressions of interest for the consolidation, conservation, and conversion of the derelict and protected Grenville Place property as the Boole House of Innovation.

Responses are due within weeks, fuelling hopes that a contract could be awarded early in the new year.
