Businessman Dermot Usher is the new owner of Cork City FC after FORAS members overwhelmingly voted by 84% to relinquish control of the fans-owned club.

Members of the Trust were allowed to quiz Usher before the vote was taken at the Clayton Hotel in Cork City on Sunday afternoon. The ballot consisted of posted, emailed and manual votes.
