Cork City Council is pressing ahead with an €8.2m redevelopment of Shandon’s Butter Market and Weighmaster’s House but has admitted “timeframes are tight” ahead of an expected 2028 completion date.
It has gone out to tender for a range of consultancy services associated with the project ahead of plans to begin construction in just over 12 months’ time.
In September, the council said it had been awarded funding of €7m under the Government’s Thrive-Town Centre First Heritage Revival Scheme to see the historic site reimagined as the Shandon Exchange.
