Cork health and fitness centre to undergo €1.6m upgrade

One of Cork’s largest health and fitness centres is set for a €1.6m upgrade.

It follows a decision by Cork City Council earlier this week to underwrite a bank loan to fund the work at its LeisureWorld facility in Bishopstown.

LeisureWorld will fund the upgrades through a 20-year bank loan, but because the council owns the asset, the bank requires the council to underwrite the loan.
