Historic city quarter gets a €500,000 facelift

New life has been breathed into one of the most historic parts of Cork City thanks to a €500,000 investment in the public realm and a cultural venue.

A new €38,000 public plaza has been developed by Cork City Council, in the shadow of the landmark Shandon Bells and alongside the Cork Butter Museum and Firkin Crane.

And the Firkin Crane itself, the home of dance in Cork, is set to benefit from a significant investment in its buildings and facilities.
