Question to the City Manager:

To ask why there has been no physical public consultation sessions in Ballintemple and Blackrock re: The Marina Park plan?; previous large scale projects have always been brought into communities, which are effected and presentations made and displays presented (Cllr Kieran McCarthy)

Motions:

That a commemorative plaque be placed at the site of the former Wesley Chapel on St Patrick’s Street. The Methodist congregation of Cork held their services here for almost two hundred years, from 1805 to 1986. The Heritage Council website notes that “Methodism flourished in Cork during the 18th century and formed an important feature of religious life in the expanding city”. Like many other churches in Cork, Wesley Chapel helped define the cityscape we still see today (Cllr Kieran McCarthy).

That the swings and slides in Fitzgerald’s Park attain maintenance, such as re-greasing all mechanisms (grease is gone gritty), eliminating rust and touching up with paint, power-washing, and repairs, in particular in the big merry-go round as it is derailed thus feels really heavy to push and the single plastic swing as it is missing the traps i.e. health & safety concern (Cllr Kieran McCarthy).
