Cork Chamber Weekly Business Update

On Saturday 18 August take a step back in time, and immerse yourself in the history of some of Cork’s most historical buildings. From steps and steeples, to customs and commerce, Cork Heritage Open Day invites the public to explore buildings, many not usually accessible to the general public, and learn more about our City’s stories and traditions. Cork Chamber is delighted once again to be involved and will be open to the public from 12 -3pm.

Be Informed about New Water Tariffs

Last week, Irish Water joined us for an information seminar on the introduction of new non-domestic water tariffs. The purpose of the meeting was to raise awareness among Cork business about the impact of a new national water tariff proposed by Irish Water, which is currently subject to consultation.

We urge any business that has water as a notable overhead to engage in the consultation, inform themselves, and to use Irish Water’s future bill calculator to see how they may be affected.
