Business innovation hub set to create 100 jobs in Cork

Two entrepreneurs have launched a business innovation hub in Cork City which they hope will help support the creation of up to 100 jobs over the next 18 months.

Tech expert DC Cahalane, and global marine business boss Dave Ronayne plan to open their Republic of Work facility at 12 South Mall early next month.

Mr Cahalane, its chief executive, said they were proud to unveil the Bank of Ireland-supported initiative, the largest of its kind in the region, in their home city.
