CORK’S iconic Custom House, an intrinsic part of the city’s maritime history, is no longer home to the Port of Cork, ending a century-long relationship that witnessed major changes to the port.

Staff at corporate headquarters vacated the premises last Friday for a move to offices closer to operations in Tivoli and Ringaskiddy.
