Innovative artisan food producers have been invited to apply for the four vacant stalls in Cork’s historic English Market — described as a rare opportunity to become part of the city's food heritage.

News of the lettings came just hours after the new Lord Mayor, Kieran McCarthy, called for a more “hands-on futureproof strategy” for the famous indoor food market, for urgent roof repairs and a long-term business plan.
