Cork streets ahead at awards
St Patrick’s Street, known affectionately as Pana, was named Ireland’s overall best street, Ireland’s best shopping street, and the winner of the City Neighbourhood 2004 award at the Department of the Environment’s City Neighbourhood awards in Dublin yesterday.
The awards come after almost two years of disruption as part of the street’s €12 million revamp, which was 50% funded by the Department of the Environment, and just weeks after its official opening.
