Councillor outlines Cork energy plan to EU leaders

It’s not every day a county councillor gets to bend the ear of European Commission President Jean-Claude Junker and ask him to open up funds to make Cork homes more energy efficient.

But that’s exactly what Cllr Alan Coleman did at the weekend when he addressed a special meeting on energy efficiency in the European Parliament in Brussels.

And the upshot is he remains hopeful his request will be listened to.
