Cork Events Centre delayed again as issue becomes 'political football'

The long-awaited Events Centre in Cork has been delayed once again, following the City Council’s decision to grant construction company BAM’s request for more time to address planner’s questions on the project.

News of the delay came as Tánaiste Simon Coveney expressed his ‘fear’ that frustrations over the ongoing delays would see the Event Centre become a ‘political football’ ahead of May’s local elections.
