The people of Cork are welcoming a number of recent announcements that aim to make the city more livable in a Reimagined Ireland.

Cork is to become home to the country's tallest building, more than €400 million is also being invested in the regeneration of parts of the city and 17 streets are being pedestrianised.

The people of Cork are looking forward to an outdoor summer with 17 streets being pedestrianised.
