AAA Councillor wants ‘hardline’ approach on Cork's event centre

A councillor has called on Cork City Council to adopt a more “hardline approach” towards the developers of Cork’s stalled event centre.

Cllr Fiona Ryan (AAA) made her comments following confirmation on Monday that senior executives of BAM will brief city officials and councillors on the status of the €53m project next month — three weeks later than had been hoped.

Last October, councillors expressed hope that the meeting would take place by the end of this month, given the scale of public investment in the scheme.
