The submission date for the Cork City Purple Flag Award Application is fast approaching with the final application being submitted on July 10^th.  The application, coordinated by Cork Chamber has brought together a multitude of stakeholders, working within and for the city has garnered the successful commitment and collaboration of all those involved. The awarding of the Purple Flag symbolises a location that offers a well-managed, diverse, entertaining and enjoyable evening and night out.
