A preliminary business case for Cork's long-awaited event centre has been approved, the Cabinet will be told tomorrow, Tuesday.

The sod for the centre was turned at the former Beamish and Crawford site by then taoiseach Enda Kenny in February 2016. However, the project has been stalled since then.
