Lack of public transport – never stopped a development yet.

Lack of parking – can be built into the 30 acres somewhere

Hotel/retaurant/bar can be built in it

roads infrastructure – shuttle bus to south link road which then gives access to tunnel, airport, the east, the west.

I only threw the suggestion out there, the bottleneck in the road by Pairc Ui Rinn would prob cause grief alright.

True on the transport front ! Our buses stop at 11.15pm.Unless this much promised Luas for Cork heads through Blackrock via the Docklands.

Maybe a bit too far from the City Centre core to suit but the old Munster Showgrounds may be a slightly better location with a redeveloped Pairc Ui Chaiomh with a hotel etc with direct access along the marina.

I wonder what Owen O’Callaghan has planned for his Mahon Point Event Centre Site ?

Expand Centre and link in somehow ?
