Taoiseach Micheál Martin officially opened Cork’s newest park on Sunday which will be equivalent in size to Dublin Zoo when its second phase is completed.

Mr Martin told a large gathering of families at the opening of phase one of the Marina Park, that the project is of special significance to him as he remembers walking in the area as a young boy.
