Recreate Shandon CLG has submitted plans seeking permission for works at the former Shandon Butter Market, a protected structure in the Shandon area of Cork city.

The works include a change of use from a craft centre to a technology and enterprise centre, including 140sq m of new accommodation, the adaption and upgrade of the building fabric, and conservation works to the building itself.
