Penneys Patrick Street

THE long-awaited €60m expansion of retail giant Penneys’ flagship Cork city centre store looks set to start by next April after a more than three-year delay that centred on a minor alleyway.

The Irish Examiner understands that final processes are being worked through in relation to the Elbow Lane title, after a public right of way was extinguished by a vote of Cork City councillors last July.
