Cork City earn last-minute reprieve

Cork City FC have secured a last minute reprieve from a High Court order to have the club wound up.

The court initially confirmed last Monday's order to liquidate the club's holding company Cork City Investments FC after finding the company was insolvent following the Revenue Commissioner's refusal to accept a payment from the club of €210,000 plus certain undertakings to discharge the remainder of the debt of €439,000.
