Returning to 2009 setup....

#leadersdebate all set for Friday....

@jklong14 Great 👍

Even people who love their cars, or really need their cars, or both, can still probably admit that the worst thing about the city they live in is that there are too many cars.

A good #MeanwhileUse policy can help stop #vacantbuildings becoming #derelict Look at this brilliant idea from- #PortsmouthCityCouncil instagram.com/reel/DBKP-LYsX… #DerelictIreland

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen was filled with cars until a 2 year pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

@PadraigRice Great idea. Can you find out how much the owners are paying for having the footpaths blocked up and out of use for many years. It would be nice to have the footpath back at least 🙏

Cork needs more parks! 🌳 I think the site of the old Fás and Tax Offices on Sullivans Quay would be a great location for a new public park. We need more open, green spaces in the city centre and this site has huge potential. The Fás and Tax Offices were knocked in 2018. The site has been vacant ever since. There was a plan to build a hotel on this site, but to the best of my knowledge, that planning application has now expired. We can’t let this site sit vacant and unused for another six years. I have tabled a motion at the City Council that calls on the executive to explore the options of leasing or purchasing this site to create a new public park for the people of Cork. We have to start making better use of vacant sites and derelict buildings across the city, if only in the medium term while new plans are being developed. If we are serious about addressing the challenges of climate change, we need far more green spaces, more trees and more areas that can absorb water when it floods. We also need more play spaces. There is a lot of space on this site, and there is no reason why we can’t have a playground here. As the graffiti on the hoarding around the site says – we need the courage to be creative.

@kevob777 @The_VQ_Cork Nice job

There's an Orange rainfall warning in Cork tomorrow. So if your property or business incurs flood damage, remember it's due to Climate Change. It has absolutely nothing to do with the incompetence of town & county councils & their lack of basic preventative maintenance to drains

Can we have a #JackieLennox version of this please and where would be the best place to display? #CorkCity @TDrisheen @what_if_cork @corkbeo @echolivecork @Corks96FM

Here’s an ‘epic’ idea to unlock Cork’s potential: mailchi.mp/davidmcwilliam… #CorkCity #DerelictIreland

Niche but bear with me — Right now, #CorkCC gives property owners 50%-off on commercial rates when a property is vacant. 🤯 A public consultation is now open on whether this should change. It's easy: Just mail vacancy@corkcity.ie before Monday, 30 September with your views.

And here we go.... terrible, dangerous and anti-social driving around #CorkCity today. Pedestrians and Cyclists paying the price every time. While I was waiting to cross with my 10 year old the cycle lane and pedestrian crossing blocked for 3 sequences +4 vehicles each time.

@lstwrd @cooper_m @EamonRyan @seamuscoffey @CWeston_Indo With regard to public project costs overruns: are our public contracts fit for purpose? Who designed them? 🤔
