More public investment needed for Cork to thrive

The ‘company’ of Cork is in much better shape that it has been for years, writes Joe Gill.

Every company has to produce a year-end balance sheet which provides a picture in time of the assets and liabilities within the business. This gives shareholders a good helicopter view of the state of play inside the company.

With year-end rapidly approaching, it might be no harm to weigh up a balance sheet for the state of Cork.
