The proposed operator of Cork's long-awaited events centre is seeing a significant revival in its fortunes after the Covid-19 pandemic decimated its business, potentially bolstering its commitment to the Leeside project.
Global events promoter Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, saw its share price plummet in the months after the pandemic began, with thousands of concerts and events postponed or cancelled.
