Everyone’s input is very much appreciated and has a very valuable and beneficial impact on our engagement and advocacy with decision-makers at regional and national level.  Should you wish to become involved in the Chamber’s policy activities, please contact Siobhan Bradley, Policy and Research Manager (Acting) siobhan.bradley@corkchamber.ie
