AS a number of strong brands set up shop in a key block of Cork City’s main shopping street, moves are afoot also to restore retail to areas that have a proliferation of vacant units.

They include Quills at 106-107 St Patrick’s Street, vacant since 2014, and the former Dorothy Perkins/Evans store at No 101, vacant since 2019.
