Michael Moynihan: Finally getting an event centre would be music to the ears

It's deeply depressing to Google the term 'Cork Event Centre' because the milestones which pop up leave the reader frowning

BAM Ireland’s expects work to start on the event centre in Cork in autumn.

 Depeche Mode have released a new album, called Memento Mori.

This is probably not how you envisaged the start of this column, but any time this band is mentioned I cast my mind back to 1982 when I saw them play a concert in Cork City Hall (October 7 on the A Broken Fame tour, for all the pop completists out there).
