The event centre would comprise a multi-purpose auditorium incorporating a 271-seat performance hall

A "world-class" music venue and community hub for the next generation could open in West Cork as part of new plans lodged with the county council.

West Cork Music CLG is seeking to address the "lack of opportunities" for local audiences, with existing venues "not designed to deliver arts experiences that provide a welcome for all."
