Cork City Council is pressing ahead with an €8.2m redevelopment of Shandon’s Butter Market and Weighmaster’s House but has admitted “timeframes are tight” ahead of an expected 2028 completion date.

It has gone out to tender for a range of consultancy services associated with the project ahead of plans to begin construction in just over 12 months’ time.
