Office builders support car ban in Cork city

Two of the country’s largest developers, who are both building offices in Cork city for thousands of workers, have backed the St Patrick St car ban and said the city must change and innovate if it is to thrive.

In a joint statement to the Irish Examiner about the afternoon car ban on the city’s main street, Brian O’Callaghan, managing director of O’Callaghan Properties (OCP), and John Cleary, managing director of JCD Group, said the development of an efficient and reliable public transport system is key to the city’s future economic prosperity.
