Centre of excellence Cork priority

THE CORK County Board is to proceed with development works at the Old Mon Field grounds in Knocknaheeny, according to the board secretary’s report for 2009, which also states that negotiations are ongoing regarding a centre of excellence adjacent to Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Although National Lottery funding is unavailable to the board for the Knocknaheeny site, its management committee has decided to proceed and a tendering process has commenced.

The report states that: “this process will be concluded very shortly and it is then intended to commence the work early in the new year”.
