Timetable for Cork events centre considered to restore public faith

The publication of a timetable for the delivery of Cork’s stalled €53m events centre is now being considered in a bid to restore public faith in the project.

Minister for Local Government Simon Coveney said he hopes the timeline could be published soon following criticism over the lack of progress on the site four months on from the official sod turning by Taoiseach Enda Kenny a week before the general election.

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin launched another broadside at the Government yesterday over the timing of the sod-turning.
