Queen's park scrapped

Queen's University's innovative Pounds 29 million plan for a research and enterprise park at 바카라사이트 historic former Belfast gasworks has collapsed, writes Noel Mcadam.

The hi-tech proposal had formed a major plank of 바카라사이트 massive Laganside regeneration in Belfast. But 바카라사이트 university is to look at alternative sites, preferably in 바카라사이트 city.

It said a deal offered by 바카라사이트 gas site owners, Belfast City Council, was unacceptable. Councillors acc- used Queen's of wanting 바카라사이트 gasworks "on 바카라사이트 cheap" but 바카라사이트 university said that it is not a commercial organisation and had offered 바카라사이트 council an equity share.

The crunch came at a meeting between Queen's with its commercial partner, Cusp, and councillors last week. Sean Fulton, chair of 바카라사이트 project group, said: "We are disappointed. Research parks of this kind are highly influential in promoting job creation."
