Re: Re: developments in cork

Well i got to say driving around the city these days is quiet Surreal these days with construction sites spring up all around the city it’s great to see cork booming and may i say about time because we didn’t get our fair share of the celtic tiger in the early years. but we are sure catching up fast.:D 😀 😀
and with the huge amount of space the docklands can afford us the city is going to be almost unreckonisable within 5-15 years and for the best. there is some massive plans in the pipeline such as

Eglinton Street starting next month and major retails development plans going to be lodged soon for the city centre i.e. Academy Street etc. Also the jobs front looks good with 1,400 new high paid jobs been announced in two days theres huge confidance in the city at the moment. and a very good write up in the lastest loney planet guide about cork. alls looking good

another thing i heard the population of cork city is ment to be down again with a huge amount of people now living outside city boundaries but still within the urban make up of the city. why doesn’t city hall look for a boundry extention which is badly needed, and would help making planning for the city for the future and bring in extra money . limerick , waterford and a few others are activly looking for extentions. in waterfords case i dont know why they are looking for an extention and they have huge sways of green fields within the boundry which isn’t the case with cork.:confused:
