Ms Alison Harvey:

Cork City Council approached us and asked us to work with it. It was the community development people in Cork City Council and it was interesting to get that inquiry. We are working with University College Cork, UCC, in Cork and doing the pilots in the city area for Blarney and Tower. We are doing the peer review of the data we have collected. Everything we do is peer reviewed before we release it. In fact, the person is coming down to do the peer review this week. I have also had inquiries from Galway and Dublin.

Given that I have said our waiting list is 45 to 50 towns, it is very unlikely we are going to do the city centres anytime soon unless we get the resources that were committed or promised under the programme for Government. However, the principles are still the same - to try to gather the data, to talk to the people and to do the participation. Also with regard to Cork, Cork county is on the waiting list as well.

It is a pity I have not been able to get down to Cork during the lockdown, but there is a wonderful team in Cork City Council. The conservation officer is working with us, as is the engineer. The planners are on board.

It will grow and grow. We have had inquiries about the area. We are talking about doing more. It depends on the resources. Only one person is involved.
