People ‘deserve timeline on stalled Cork event centre’

A statement on the future of Cork’s €53m events centre is needed amid growing concerns over the project.

Seán McCarthy, a co-owner of SoHo bar and restaurant, who helped mount a campaign to secure the events centre on the former Beamish and Crawford brewery site, said the people of Cork deserve to know where they stand.

“Almost two years ago, we were led to believe that we would have a new events centre by December 2017,” Mr McCarthy said.
