THE FUTURE of the proposed €20m glass Prism building in Cork City is back in the spotlight as the developer has yet to apply to Cork City Council to extend the hoarding licence.
The current licence expires on November 14 and until then Deane Street, next to the site, will remain closed.
A spokesperson for Roads Operation said the Council is engaging with the developer, Tower Holdings Group (THG), in relation to the licence, which is required to facilitate building works and to ensure public safety.

The spokesperson said: “Currently there is a road closure in place until 14 November 2023. The developer will have to make an application to extend this, if required."
Tower Holdings Group failed to respond when asked if they intended to apply for a new licence.
The planned 15-storey block, inspired by New York’s Flat Iron building, was originally due for completion last August.
