Cork City awarded Purple Flag for ‘safe, vibrant’ night-time offerings

Cork city has been awarded a Purple Flag for its night-time offerings.

The city passed an internationally recognised test conducted earlier this year and met the criteria for offering a safe, vibrant evening and night-time economy.

A panel of experts assessed the city between 5pm to 5am under headings including well-being, movement, appeal, place, and policy, and said it provided a well-managed, diverse, entertaining and enjoyable evening and night out.
