View answerThe Cork Events Centre was included as a commitment under Project Ireland 2040. It underlines the Government’s objectives around urban regeneration, enhanced amenity and heritage, associated quality of life standards, balanced regional development, and the regeneration and development of Cork City Centre.
It was agreed in the context of Budget 2020 that responsibility at central Government level for making the grant aid support available for the project would transfer to my Department. However, responsibility for the advancement of proposals for the development of the Events Centre remains, in the first instance, a matter for Cork City Council.
There has been no draw down of Exchequer funding to date by Cork City Council in relation to the Cork Events Centre.
