New unit to help deliver ambitious plans to transform Cork City's docklands area

The LDA is teaming up with the local authority to set up a Cork Docklands Delivery Office which will help facilitate the development programme

The Irish Examiner has reported that privately-run Kerry Airport will book the loss as part of an unusual €1.5m investment it took on an investment bond, which disastrously went wrong when markets crashed at the onset of the Covid-19 crisis in March.

Plans to transform Cork City's docklands area have moved a step closer after the Land Development Agency and the City Council announced they are partnering to help deliver the ambitious, 20-year project.

The LDA - itself only in existence for two years - is teaming up with the local authority to set up a Cork Docklands Delivery Office which will help facilitate the development programme.
