Transforming Cork

Enhancing Your Environment

Increasing the Liveability of our Urban Spaces

Supporting You

International Solidarity

The past weeks of global pandemic have seen a strange return to the raising of ‘borders’ throughout Europe and further afield, as countries and economies have struggled to find a balance between keeping trade and supply chains open, and protecting their people and goods in the name of public health. However, the pandemic has exposed great solidarity at national and global level, demonstrating how international co-operation, human assistance and kindness can be transformative and powerful tools in the face of a global crisis.
