Work on Cork's €53m events centre to start after Easter

Demolition work on the site of Cork’s proposed €53m events and conference centre is expected to begin after Easter.

Teams of demolition experts have visited the former Beamish and Crawford brewery site on South Main St in recent weeks, following the pre-general election sod- turning ceremony on February 13.

They are now finalising detailed plans for site clearance work which will also facilitate an extensive archaeological survey on the site at the heart of the city’s Viking origins.
