The hugely successful Marina Market in Cork is set to compete for a multi-million state aid package to deliver an event and conference centre in the city.
It has established a team and says it is working with a leading architectural body to oversee an international competition to design a new 5,000-seat conference space, a 100-bed hotel, and a gallery, focused on its south docklands site.
