Kieran’s Comments, Re: Bonfire Night, Cork City Council Meeting, 14 March 2011

I agree with the directors report that we have to build upon the success of the community events on Bonfire night. But we ultimately need to do more with regard to protecting our green spaces in the city on this night.

We have approx 101 festival days in Cork City; one of those days unravels all the good work associated with the other 100 positive festival days. It’s not good enough that Cork makes national television news for this annual terrorism festival and gets no major coverage for the other 100 days.
