Plans have been unveiled for a revamp and full pedestrianisation of Emmett Place in Cork city centre to create a new civic space.

It comes after it hosted a range of open-air gigs during the jazz weekend, with some complaints that cars were still allowed to access the area while it was packed with revellers.
