PCH chief urges city to tap into its spirit to get ahead

PCH founder Liam Casey told the Cork Chamber annual dinner that the city has an opportunity to be great if it uses its imagination and spirit.

Mr Casey, the guest of honour at the dinner, said that the international brands and companies he works with don’t talk about countries any more, but cities and regions.

“I was in Covent Garden yesterday and there is a roofed area. Why can’t we pedestrianise Patrick Street and put a roof over it. Can you imagine it? It would be an attraction all around the world. It would be a leading city in Europe,” he said.
