'A real vote of confidence for Cork': design work on event centre project has begun

Cork Event Centre has been dogged by planning, funding, design and legal delays.

Almost six years since the sod-turning ceremony, detailed design work on the long-stalled Cork Event Centre project has finally begun, it has been confirmed on Monday night.

But it will be autumn next year before that design work is complete and there is still no indication of when construction work on the proposed 6,000 capacity venue on the city’s South Main St will start.
