BAM seeks €12m extra State funding for Cork events centre

The building costs have soared from €53m to €65m, it emerged last night, following a protracted internal redesign process which has seen the venue’s footprint increase from just over 10,000 sq m to 13,500 sq m.
BAM said it will be asking the Government to increase its investment in the project from €20m — sanctioned two years ago — to €32m.
