Christmas markets are nice and all, but they ( #corkcc ) should really have pedestrianised Emmett Place.

the one by the Crawford Gallery on Emmett place (with ridiculously low awnings too) has taken up all the footpath and the area is full of people in cars double parked for their Starsucks coffee

How Cork City Council can move on from its robotrees fiasco The local authority should apologise for wasting taxpayers' money — and learn to listen to experts when considering matters beyond its own expertise, writes John Sodeau

Cork City Council cuts 120m of bike lane from neighbourhood scheme The original plan was amended to facilitate on-street parking for several healthcare premises

Cycled the Curraheen Road today.

It's been 1,173 days since plans for pop up (light segregation) cycle lanes and a pedestrian crossing were approved by a majority of #corkcc elected reps.

No sign of construction starting onsite unfortunately.

Increase in Traveller families in Cork will mean substantial rise in housing need over next five years It is estimated 110 Traveller families have an existing accommodation need but there will be between 70 and 86 new Traveller families in the city by 2029

Thanks Eoin English and The Examiner for reporting my comments on the Traveller Accommodation Programme agreed by #CorkCC.

This is the most well-researched of any adopted anywhere. Now it has to move from being a "plan" to a "programme" of delivery.

These can't come sooner, given the blatant red light running by people driving

This month, #CorkCC agreed its budget for 2025.

A priority for me was the rates reductions offered to owners of vacant commercial buildings. These will be reduced and reviewed again next year.

I'm also working with officials on policy to promote meanwhile use of vacant properties.

Busy morning for #CorkCC officials at a drop-in session for property owners wanting to take buildings out of vacancy and dereliction.

Grants up to €70,000 to renovate properties are available. About 250 properties in the city have been funded to become homes again. 👏👏

Very little illegal parking in town today .

The council's "parking enforcement is just for Christmas" approach seems to be working

Retendering of Cork event centre project described as 'utter farce' Industry sources say a retendering process could take between a year and 18 months, but Government sources hope the process can be expedited

This isn't getting built is it?

The Cork numbers at cabinet for the next govt will likely be greatly diminished

Funding decision kicked out to then, and unlikely

The consultants day one have a lot to answer for
