Cork City Development: Separate authorities are key to ‘selling’ city

Last week’s collective confirmation of major development projects for Cork gave a welcome fillip to everyone in the city, writes Owen O’Callaghan MD, O’Callaghan Properties 

The projects which were outlined are significant and timely. Once rolled out, they will help, in a small but important way, to address the business imbalance between Dublin and Ireland’s second city.

The projects demonstrate the strength of a small number of Cork-based developers and may help to convey the message that economic recovery can’t take place without developers.
