Cork County Council Grants Creative Wishes for Cruinniú na nÓg 2024

 

Cork County Council’s Library and Arts Service has announced the 2024 Cruinniú na nÓg programme, with over 30 creative events planned across the county on Saturday the 15th of June. This year’s programme is unique in that it was almost entirely programmed by the children of Cork themselves. 

Through the ‘My Creative Wish’ arts initiative, children and young people were invited to submit their creative wishes late last year. Over 30 wishes have since been granted with workshops on art, design, animation, comic books, song writing, circus and fashion delivered in schools and libraries throughout County Cork.

The creative workshops will culminate with events on Saturday the 15th of June as part of Cruinniú na nÓg - Ireland’s National Day of Creativity, with a host of free creative classes on offer in library branches across the county.

Counting Down the Days to Summer, Mayor of County Cork, Cllr Frank O’Flynn Launches Preview of Cork Summer Show 2024

 

The countdown to summer is on, and Cork is buzzing with preparations for one of its greatest traditions, the Cork Summer Show. The Mayor of County Cork, Cllr Frank O’Flynn was guest of honour at the official launch of a preview of this year’s event, which took place at the historic Camden Fort Meager in Crosshaven.

The show is the signature of summer for tens of thousands of people from Cork and around Munster who visit and take part in this remarkable gathering. 

With a history spanning more than two centuries, it continues to ignite imaginations and is gearing up for its biggest and best show yet!

There are 20 themed zones and acres of traditional agricultural competitions and equestrian events, stalls, displays and marquees to explore, all set in the lush surrounds of the Cork Showgrounds at Curraheen. 

Enjoy the sounds of the summer at our mainstage, with its famous strawbale seating, where you can check out great acts, including Jerry Fish, James Keegan, Fiona Kennedy, Gina and the Champions, the Céilí Allstars, DJ Jim X Comet and on-stage entertainment just for kids. 

You’ll find over a hundred picnic tables, where you can relax with great food from our food village or even bring your own packed lunch, and it’s all just minutes away from Cork City!

Cork Summer Show is a fun day out with lots to discover for the whole family. You can meet farm animals, explore the world of agriculture, visit the equestrian zone, check out competitions, great music, art, horticulture, and gardening.

Whet your appetite with great food, brush up your culinary skills by watching live demonstrations by top chefs or take part in one of many talks delivered by food experts.

There are fascinating educational exhibits, talks and lectures, as well as an opportunity to see all the latest technology, with farm and garden machinery and motors to browse. You can take a trip down memory lane and check out the classics in the vintage motors and machinery zone. 

Or, if you prefer to shop ‘til you drop, there’s the wide array of market stalls, featuring outstanding local producers, with a particular focus on arts, craft, design, and food.

If you’re looking for that adrenaline rush, check out the thrilling funfair or for an overload of cuteness visit the pet dog show or the browse pet zone.

This year’s show will also feature several displays from visiting organisations, including tethered hot air balloons demonstrated by Ballooning Ireland and an exhilarating tug-of-war championship with TOWI.

We invite you to browse and be inspired by the Local Enterprise Zone, supported by the three Local Enterprise Offices in Cork City and County. This fascinating marquee is a showcase of 50 vibrant local Cork businesses, highlighting arts, crafts, food, clothing and more. Meet and support local entrepreneurs, learn about their journeys, discover innovative local Cork products, and sample outstanding artisan food.

TOWN CENTRE FIRST FUNDING FOR BANTRY, MACROOM AND MITCHELSTOWN

 

The Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr, Frank O’Flynn has welcomed funding to help address challenges such as vacancy and dereliction in three County Cork towns. Bantry, Macroom and Mitchelstown will each benefit from €10,000 in funding from the Department of Rural and Community Development under the Town Centre First Town Team Support Fund. 

The funds will be used to further develop Town Teams in each location. The teams are supported by Cork County Council’s Town Regeneration Office and play a vital role in helping communities access the wide range of departmental funding available under various schemes. 

The national Town Centre First Policy is a joint strategy by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and aims to create town centres that function as vibrant, viable and attractive locations for people to live, work and visit while also serving as the service, social, cultural and recreational hub for the local community.   

The latest funding announcement follows the recent publication of the Town Centre First Plan for Skibbereen, the pathfinder town under this scheme for County Cork, as well as the announcement in March of this year of an allocation of €30,000 approved by the Department of Rural and Community Development to develop a Town Centre First Regeneration Plan for the North Cork town of Kanturk.  

Further information on the Town Centre First Town Team Support Fund for Bantry, Macroom, and Mitchelstown can be sought by emailing townregenerationoffice@corkcoco.ie

The project team will give an overview of the emerging options and is inviting feedback, comments and observations on the options presented. The feedback from the event will be considered, with all other relevant assessment items, to identify the preferred scheme of flood mitigation measures.  

The event marks the second in a series of Public Participation Days which will be held over the course of the delivery the project, the first of which was held in May 2022 during the early stages of the scheme development. A final avenue for comment from the public for the development and design stage of the project will be available at a later date when the Preferred Option will be presented at a third Public Participation Day.

Skibbereen and Clonakilty Unveil Exciting New Public Amenities to Enhance Community Living

 Skibbereen and Clonakilty Unveil Exciting New Public Amenities to Enhance Community Living

A new outdoor Amphitheatre in Skibbereen and an upgraded walkway in Clonakilty have been officially opened to the public. The projects spearheaded by Cork County Council demonstrate a commitment to enriching community spaces for residents and visitors alike.

The Rock Amenity Park in Skibbereen underwent substantial upgrades, transforming it into a destination for leisure and enjoyment. These enhancements include developing an outdoor Amphitheatre and installing 850m of footpaths. The park is on an elevated area east of the town at the rear of North Street and High Street, with panoramic views of Skibbereen and the surrounding areas. Notably, it contains the remnants of a number of small stone-cut cottages dating to Famine times, and a circular Famine Memorial honours the significance of the site.

In Clonakilty, the Gallanes Walkway has been extended to link with the Technology Park as well as developing a hiking trail. 275 metres of walkway/cycle pathways have been added and the 1km hiking trail, which takes in three circular viewing points, has been completed. The extension promotes sustainable modes of transportation and fosters a greater sense of connectivity within the community. In addition, the walls of the existing stone houses which were in ruins, have been reduced to 1m above floor level and picnic benches installed on site to maximise use of the amenity and give appreciation to its former use.
