Long-held plans to convert a landmark but vacant and derelict public building in North Cork into a 200-seat theatre and regional arts centre have been given a major boost thanks to a €7m grant.

Cork County Council has been awarded the funding to regenerate and convert the striking former Mallow Town Hall on the town’s main street into a new arts venue.
