Irish Examiner view: Redevelopment of Cork’s Crawford Gallery

The design contract for the €29m redevelopment of Cork’s Crawford Gallery has been awarded to Grafton Architects

Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who approved the Crawford business plan last September, said the gallery was the only national cultural institution located in its entirety outside of Dublin and that it punched way above its weight.

We have seen, time and time again, how culture has helped us to negotiate our way through a global pandemic. 

How fitting then, to hear that the design contract has been awarded for the €29m redevelopment of Cork’s Crawford Gallery.
