De Event Centre

[Great-Bit-O-Stuff]

I never understood the appeal of having a library next to a convention arena. I mean, will there be a clause now that no loud music during the opening hours of the library... Imagine. FML

Read it and weep

The Counting House was never going to be part of the events centre.

The whole site is a phenomenal waste of taxpayers' money however you slice it

The Counting House was never going to be part of the events centre.

Think the 35M purchase includes building to the rear. It’s going to be three times the size of current library apparently

Would love to know what Bam paid Heineken for the site. best i can find is an estimate on the market at the time that would put a price of 10-15 million on it.

“The council says this adaptive reuse approach will bring a regenerated and vacant building in the medieval heart of the city”

What a load of ChatGPT-generated bullshit bingo.

They wouldn’t need a fucking adaptive reuse approach if they just put in the events centre they’ve been promising since 2014.

Shower. Of. Cunts.

What the fuck are you on about now?
The event centre site and the counting house building are two seperate sites adjacent to each other. The current library isnt fit for purpose or to put it more plainly is a steaming pile of shite.
Youve got an amazing new building in need of a tennant and perfectly suited for turning into a wonderful modern library. On top of that its in an area that has been revamped recently and a library will breath life and purpose into the area.
In short it's a wonderful idea.
As for the event centre? If it's not going in that site after all then a nice green area by the new library would be the job.
We live in hope.

35 million of our taxes going to a "world class library"

Cork's Counting House bought for €35m as council plans new 'world-class' library

The building was previously incorporated into plans for the Cork Events Centre

As long as the go ahead with the micro brewery in there, like they promised ...

Shut your hole ya clown

That’s what I’m on about now. The people running this town literally couldn’t run a piss up in a brewery…incompetence abounds.

Do you work for the council by any chance?

What happens to the current library building?

Are the books, the records and the lunatics who campaign against its toilets going to be moved over to South Main St.?

I remember when Heineken promised a brewing museum there.

LOL

 

[Crisp Sandwich]

I remeber when Heineken promised a brewing museum there.

LOL

I scoffed at the idea of visiting the Carlsberg brewing museum in Copenhagen.

Then I discovered it was included on some visitor's card that we had and the young lad serving pints at the end of the tour didn't seem to give a single fuck about his job. He just kept topping up the glasses.

We got shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiithoused.

For free.
