There are many exciting events throughout the city and county including Meet Your Hero’s, Cork Independence Day, Global Cork Economic Forum, International Naval Festival and a Flash Mob event to name just a few.

A key part of the week’s promotion has been the Rebel Passport, which has been a huge success with over 10,000 issued to date. Ernest Cantillon, President of the CBA and Gillian Keating, President of Cork Chamber are delighted that so many shops, hotels and restaurants are using this opportunity to promote their businesses by offering Rebel Passport holders offers and discounts during the week.

‘With over 10,000 passports in circulation this is an opportunity not to be missed to drive business and footfall at a typically quiet time of the year. There is still time to be involved and registration could not be simpler, please visit www.corkrebelweek2013.com to register your company or email info@CorkRebelWeek2013.com.’ highlighted Ernest Cantillon.

Gillian Keating added, ‘This is a very exciting proposition for the County with events being held across all large towns and the city every day of Rebel Week. It is up to all of us to make this work and hopefully see this as an annual event in Cork’s calendar’.
