The Government is expected to sign off on a further multi-million euro financial top-up to deliver the Cork event centre project.

While €57m in State aid has already been pledged, Tánaiste Micheál Martin has stressed that there is still a "strong case" for progressing with the project despite significant delays and budget overruns.
