Caulfield warns Glanmire collapse could sink City

Cork City boss John Caulfield says it will be a “scandal” if the proposed €10m Glanmire Centre of Excellence falls through, warning it could threaten the very survival of the club.

The Glanmire project in Brooklodge envisages Cork City as anchor tenants but is based upon a €5m funding injection from Government. A decision on that funding is expected in the autumn. Sports Minister Shane Ross has indicated that funding for football projects will be put on ice until the FAI’s corporate governance issues are resolved, leaving the project in limbo.
