The board of CIÉ has given the go-ahead for a €500 million commercial development of the company's 17-acre site at Horgan's Quay in Cork city. The Horgan's Quay project will be a mixed-use development, serving residential and commercial interests, with Manor Park Homes being appointed as developers for the project. An application for planning will now proceed. Minister for Transport Martin Cullen announced the decision by the board of CIÉ to proceed with the development on a visit to Cork yesterday. Earlier this year Mr Cullen urged CIÉ and Cork County Council to resolve their differences to advance the project. Meanwhile, the Minister also announced an upgrade of Kent Station in Cork city. A redevelopment of 3,000 sq metres is planned at the station, comparable in size to the main Heuston Station in Dublin.
