Question to the CE:

To ask the CE for an update on the Blackrock regeneration pier project and the work to be pursued very shortly? (Cllr Kieran McCarthy)

Motions:

That the Council engage with the European Region of Gastronomy Programme with a view to attaining such an accolade. The European Region of Gastronomy Award is given to regions that commit to a programme of events designed to promote distinctive food cultures, educate for better health and sustainability, and who stimulate gastronomic innovation – the latter of which Cork and its region have in abundance (Cllr Kieran McCarthy).

That a sustainable programme of work be put in place to tidy up (overgrowth, fallen stones, broken wrought iron work) the nineteenth century parts of St Joseph’s Cemetery, which are in a dreadful state. Can the Council work with the Prison service and the community work scheme to keep such historic spaces tidy? (Cllr Kieran McCarthy).
