It is essential that investment in major capital projects in Cork continue to be increased in the wake of the pandemic the Cork Chamber President has told the government.

Paula Cogan said that if the city and wider economic region is to remain globally competitive and fulfil its role nationally as set out in the National Planning Framework (NPF), a significant investment that is focused and targeted to unlock the region’s potential is required. In a recent submission to the National Development Plan (NDP) review, Cork Chamber recommended a ‘most ambitious’ approach must be taken to capital investment spending for the region.
