If you want safer streets, less pollution, a nicer environment, better public transport, it’s
not enough to say, “yeah that’s a great idea” - you need to register your approval and support.
Otherwise the negative voices will appear to be the majority!

📢🌳🚶🚲 Have your say on DLR Connector!
DLR Connector would see 6km of new segregated cycle lanes and walking facilities.
I really like this project, but the Council want to hear what you think about it. More: evadowling.ie/dlrconnector
Consultation closes on July 15th

The perfectly recreated galleon “Andalusia” is visiting Cork.
An example of that country’s pride and awareness of her maritime history.
She is moored alongside the historic customs buildings in Cork.
An example of this city’s contempt for its maritime history.
