Firm hopes to start building long-stalled Cork event centre this autumn

BAM also confirmed it intends to progress its plans for a hotel and offices on the site of the former tax office in Cork City

BAM Ireland’s update brings it into line with the latest timeline update from Cork City Council which last month said it expects work to start on the event centre in the third quarter of the year.

The company which won a 2014 tender for State aid to build the Cork event centre says it expects to start building this autumn.

The update from BAM Ireland comes just a month after it indicated that it hopes to be on site on the long-stalled project on South Main St in the second quarter of the year.
