Work starts on €30m project to rebuild landmark Cork city hotel

Demolition works at Moore's hotel on Morrisons Quay, Cork. 

Work has started on the near €30m redevelopment of the former Moore’s Hotel site in Cork — a riverside site which was declared derelict three years ago after lying vacant for almost 15 years.

Senior city officials visited the site on Morrison’s Quay yesterday where main contractors, the Elliot Group, are poised to start structural demolition before embarking on the construction of a new four-to-six storey mixed-use development that will include a Premier Inn hotel and three office blocks.
