The two anchor tenants at the Cork shopping centre which has been closed for over a year following a devastating fire say they are both committed to reopening their outlets within weeks.

Retail giants Tesco and Marks and Spencer said they are both working closely with the management team of Douglas Shopping Centre, on the city's southside, to ensure their outlets are ready to open in line with the shopping centre's target opening date in early November.
