Housing shortages, anti-social behaviour and a lack of infrastructure are the key issues facing Cork ahead of Budget 2025, with renewed calls for support on both a local and national level to make city-centre living a reality. 

In its pre-budget submission, Cork Chamber noted the challenges and opportunities facing its members, citing the need for urgent climate action, a lack of social cohesion, and rising business costs.
