Cork City Council has voted to invite a number of ministers to address its members.

Councillors last month decided to invite housing minister James Browne to Leeside, but a motion brought this week by Labour councillor Peter Horgan has added ministers for transport Darragh O’Brien and justice Jim O’Callaghan to address "Cork-specific" issues.
