The new lord mayor of Cork has pledged to put city centre revitalisation centre stage and is willing to listen to anyone with good ideas that can help create a city for all.
Fine Gael councillor Deirdre Forde was speaking on Friday after she was elected 21 votes to five at the first city council AGM to take place in City Hall’s historic council chamber for two years.
