Fears over tour group rules at English Market

Concerns have been raised about the impact of new tour group protocols which are due to come into effect today in Cork’s famous English Market.

City councillors have called for a full briefing on the controls amid concerns they could cause embarrassment to large, independent visiting groups.

Fianna Fáil councillor Tim Brosnan raised the issue during Monday’s council meeting after the Irish Examiner last week reported the planned introduction of the new measures in Ireland’s oldest indoor food market.
