Housing shortage 'is hampering business investment in Cork'

Chamber calls for major State investment in infrastructure in the region, as well as further clarity about business supports

While welcoming the extension of supports including the PUP and the online retail scheme, Cork Chamber president Paula Cogan emphasises that businesses still need clarity about reopening. 

Housing shortages will likely hamper future investment in the Cork region, which will require the Government to spend big on public infrastructure in October's budget, according to business leaders. 

The findings come in the latest quarterly economic survey by Cork Chamber which shows business leaders are looking ahead and have identified housing and infrastructure as major priorities.
