Temporary traffic management arrangements will be put in place as the work progresses in order to minimise disruption to the public, to businesses and residents in the area. The contractors will liaise with the Cork City Council Roads Department, An Garda Síochána and local residents who will be notified about upcoming events likely to cause disturbance such as planned temporary disconnection of services, working hours or any other planned works. Cork Chamber will endeavour to keep members informed on this.
Details of work in the area will be updated regularly on the Service and Supply updates section of the Irish Water website at or via Irish Water’s 24/7 Customer Care line at 1850 278 278.

On the day we will hear from an expert in the field and some key case studies, who will bring their experience of data analytics to life and help you gain insight into how data can work for your business.
We are delighted to bring you this “Demystifying Data” event as our February Business Breakfast which will help you to find valuable insights in your data through analysis. This event is in association with the Irish Examiner and will be held in partnership with the Chartered Accountants Cork Society.
