In-limbo traders of the fire-hit Douglas Village Shopping Centre in Cork have prepared plans for a temporary mini-retail park nearby amid mounting uncertainty over the future of the complex. They have identified a disused car park to the rear of Douglas Woollen Mills as a potential site for up to 37 temporary shipping container-style structures. An aerial view of the proposed site for the temporary retail park where businesses affected by the Douglas Village Shopping Centre fire could relocate.
