English Market riding royal wave with CBA award

IT will come as little or no surprise that The English Market has scooped the second-quarter Cork Business Association Heineken Award for the outstanding coverage it received during Queen Elizabeth II’s visit.

The market, dating back to 1788, was one of two award winners announced by the CBA last night at a ceremony held in Heineken Ireland.

“This is truly a tremendous honour for both the niche traders of The English Market and Cork City Council, coming as it does so soon after the most wonderfully successful visit of Queen Elizabeth II on Friday, May 20,” CBA president Sean Murphy said.
