Maximum public benefit key to picking Cork convention centre site

THE announcement that Cork City Council is to invite submissions from development interests for the provision of a new events/convention centre in the city is a very welcome development for Cork, and promises something that is sorely missing from the city’s cultural, business, and entertainment offer.

With a substantial public subvention now promised, we know that one of these proposals can ultimately be delivered as a viable and successful venture.

The question now should be to determine which one delivers more for the city as a whole.
