Question to the Manager

To ask the manager what is the plan going forward to improve traffic flows from Skehard Road to and from Mahon Point and beyond, to and from the tunnel (Cllr Kieran McCarthy)

Motions:

That any bid to make Cork a UNESCO World Music Centre would include musicians, venue owners, bookers etc in the city. They should also be involved, if the city is successful, in the programme itself (Cllr Kieran McCarthy)

That this Council implore the government to sort out the mess that is the On-line Student Grant Application System (Susi). More than 50,000 third-level students are still waiting to see if they will get a grant because a new online system is in chaos. The system was designed to speed up the process but instead only one in 16 grant applications have been approved (Cllr Kieran McCarthy).
