Call made for urgent events centre update

There have been calls for an urgent public update on the status of Cork’s stalled events centre project as a new report shows how the city is poised for a 30% boost to its hotel bed capacity.

Labour Party activist, Peter Horgan, said government TDs must let people know what’s happening before another year passes without a brick being laid on the controversial venue which has been dogged by delays and controversies.

He made his call as a property expert said the event centre project needs to be delivered if the city is to realise its full potential.
