Horgan's Quay site to play key role in Cork city growth

It comes as CIÉ has this month signed off on development terms and a partnership agreement for a vital six-acre portion of its large Horgan’s Quay, Cork city centre rail station ground, three decades after private development terms were first considered for the high-profile, under-used waterfronting site.
Developer Owen O’Callaghan had initially spotted the site’s potential 21 years ago and proposed a science park for a site of three acres on Horgan’s Quay back in 1995, but pulled out after political accusations of a “cosy cartel” as it had not gone to the open market.
