As part of our ongoing lobbying and engagement campaigns Cork Chamber President, Gillian Keating and Chamber CEO Conor Healy met with the newly elected Lord Mayor of Cork City Cllr. Mary Shields and Cork County Mayor, Cllr. Alan Coleman earlier this week. At the meetings Cork Chamber outlined priority issues of concern for the business community in the Cork region for the coming twelve months.

As well as discussing key infrastructural projects the importance of marketing Cork as a region through Cork INC was discussed.  The Chamber re-enforced our position on the necessity of ensuring the continuation of the City and County Council’s Economic Development Fund to further support the creation and expansion of sustainable enterprises in the micro and SME sectors of the Cork economy.
