Landmark plans for a €125m regeneration of Cork City’s south docks are moving a step closer, with the city council set to spend €10m on project managers and designers to oversee the project.

The long-awaited rejuvenation of the quayside will “grow the heart of the city”, according to Cork City Council, which will create walkable neighbourhoods and people-centred streets and spaces.
