A turnaround time of 12-18 months from tendering to starting construction on the Cork Event Centre is possible, the Cabinet has been told.

The Government reaffirmed its support for the plan on Tuesday despite saying that it needing to go to tender again, some eight years after the sod was turned, as Cabinet gave the green light for a fresh procurement process.
