Mayor calls TDs together to kick-start docklands plan

THE Lord Mayor of Cork has called a meeting of the city’s TDs as part of a new drive to secure Government funding for an €80 million bridge that will help kickstart the city’s docklands regeneration.

Cllr Mick O’Connell said he plans to bring all the city’s political representatives together in City Hall next week to discuss the issue with city manager Joe Gavin.

“I want to send a clear message to Dublin that funding is needed now,” Mr O’Connell said.
