City’s retailers urged to change with the times

One of Cork’s most prolific developers has said the city will be a “very vibrant place” within the next 12-18 months.

John Cleary of JCD is developing new Cork City office blocks which will house thousands of workers within months and he has urged retailers to tweak their offering and seize the opportunity. He also said bus lanes are vital to delivering a functioning public transport system — one of the basic requirements, alongside housing, to attract investment and jobs.
