Today Cork Chamber President Ronan Murray and CEO Conor Healy welcomed Anne Graham, CEO of the National Transport Authority to present at our Business Breakfast #CCBreakfast. Transport remains high on the agenda for Cork Chamber and our members. This event gave members opportunity to hear first hand about the progress on CMATA (Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy) - with updates on BusConnects, electrification on the suburban rail line, cycleways & walk ways. Light rail for Cork was well discussed, and it was outlined that (transformative though it may be), light rail is not in the current National Development Plan. On the topic of light rail, Conor Healy, CEO of Cork Chamber commented "𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘬𝘦𝘺 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘬.

Lovely evening in Cork County Council for the PSYCHED event! We were delighted to recieve our certificate for Psyched Recognition for 2023, recognising our commitment to mental health promotion in the workplace. PSYCHED plays a crucial role in promoting mental health awareness and well-being in the workplace. By recognising organisations committed to this cause, it fosters a culture where employees feel supported and valued. This initiative also contributes to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health issues. #mentalhealthawareness
