A new project development board is pressing ahead with fresh plans for the long-awaited Cork Events Centre, putting the construction sector on alert that it expects to go to tender early next year.

In an update to Cork City Councillors yesterday evening, elected members were told by the chair of the project development board Brian Geaney that City Hall is soon to issue a prior information notice to signal its intentions to the market.
