Cork Businesses Encouraged to Engage in Flood Relief Consultation
Cork Chamber welcomes the opening of public consultation on the Lower Lee Flood Relief Scheme.
Commenting at of the opening of the consultation, Conor Healy, Cork Chamber CEO, said: “Cork Chamber is encouraged to see the Lower Lee Flood Relief Scheme today moving to the next phase.
