Public statement demanded on stalled Cork event centre

Calls are mounting for a public statement from the developers of Cork’s stalled event centre, amid renewed reassurances that the project is still on track, writes Eoin English.

Cllr Mick Finn (Ind) backed the calls from a leading city publican, but went further to demand that councillors be briefed on the timeline for the project, nine months after the Taoiseach turned the sod and almost two years after almost €20m in state aid was sanctioned.
