What If this old garage on Lower Glanmire Rd was converted into a restaurant similar to this one in Ballydehob?

[What If Cork @what_if_cork]

Depressing to see so much greenery getting ripped out just for more and more road space at the Dunkettle Roundabout all the way to Little Island.

[Save Marina Park @MarinaParkCork]

@timoconnorbl @HenryJPorter @MichealMartinTD In fairness to Terry Shannon he has done more than most to hold back Cork City.

[Oliver Moran 🇪🇺 @oliver_moran]

A sample of the consistent negative messaging from Fianna Fáil under the guise of "bringing people with us". Dishonest and desperate. They are completely failing the communities they represent.

Disgraceful intervention from Taoiseach. Lacking leadership, locally and nationally.

[What If Cork @what_if_cork]

This could be Morrison’s Island. @corkcitycouncil Instead of a car park replacing a car park like the current plan, we could have a people focused destination which would be the envy of the rest of Ireland. Trees, greenery, seating by the river. Let’s get it done.

[Frank O'Connor @frank_oconnor]

Many a person would love to call this home in Cork City #DerelictIreland

[Stevie G @StevieGrainger]

But they say migrants are the ones causing homelessness here……

[Karl Shane Dískín @KarlDiskin]

Lots of Progress to be seen over on North Main Street with the new student housing topped out, and Kyle St apartments scaffold coming down 👍🏼

Where else needs more pedestrianisation and greening to n Cork City?

[Joe Healy🇵🇸 @JTPHealy]

Cornmarket Street. Quite a changed landscape in just over twenty years. Top photo was taken around the turn of the millennium.

[City View Wheels - Electric Bike Specialists @cityviewwheels]

Great to have a fully stocked E-bike showroom again with lots of exciting choice. Call up to Blarney Street or give us a ring any time. There’s got to be one here for you! #Cork #commute #GetToWorkOnTime #ebikes #cycling

[What If Cork @what_if_cork]

Good work done here in the last decade. Needs to go further now. Full pedestrianisation of the street? @corkcitycouncil

[Gone to Bluesky @IrishCycle]

Enforcement is badly needed, Gardai have for too long turned a blind eye to this kind of dangerous practice:

[Richard Jacob @WestCorkCapital]

A superb précis of why we should focus on regenerating our towns and villages, instead of creating a faux village.

Remember, the most sustainable town is the one we already have.

Everything is wrong with this plan.

[Iar Ard Mhéara Chorcaí, Cllr. Dan Boyle @sendboyle]

Now the first phase consultation on #CorkBusConnects has closed, we wait to see what changes can be made. A lot of the difficulties that have arisen have been because of accommodating cars more. To improve public transport and cycle access that has to be done on existing space.

[What If Cork @what_if_cork]

If we’re serious about greening our City, we need to start depaving hard surfaces and adding green like this. Dublin doing a lot of good work in this regard. @corkcitycouncil

[🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸The Original Tweritt🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @originaltweritt]

@irishexaminer I think the people of cork would prefer a regenerated city centre. So many empty units and you want to build more?

[Frank O'Connor @frank_oconnor]

This could be a beautiful street in Cork City
It once was ..
Now its riddled with vacancy, dereliction & decaying heritage
Such a wasted opportunity to grow the local economy & make a real difference to peoples lives for #RestPlayWork

This is #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland

[What If Cork @what_if_cork]

We say this a lot but the City would be hugely improved overnight if we removed pointless street clutter and doubled up on a lot of signage. It only gets worse and is never improved. @sendboyle @jmaher0 @DamianBoylanFG @cllrkmac @Tfitzgeraldcork @CllrFionaRyan
