Cork City Council carried out extensive consultation work as part of the Draft Development Plan consultation, including with young people. Children’s needs are identified and addressed in various sections of the Draft Plan in terms of context paragraphs and Objectives. The main support comes from Objective 3.20 Cork City as a Child-Friendly City. This is proposed to be amended to strengthen this objective in favour of child friendly development within Cork City. Recommendation: See recommendation for Objective 3.20 und er submission no’s 203, 243, 284, 414. The issues raised in relation to City Hall, Breastfeeding Friendly City and a People’s Assembly are largely not within remit of Plan. City Hall hosts numerous cultural events each year. The Breastfeeding Friendly City and People’s Assembly are best achieved through other mechanisms such as LECP, HSE, Healthy Cities. In terms of engagement with community and stakeholders, there are three public consultation stages during the 2 year Development Plan making process. The initial Pre-Plan consultation stage (also known as Issues Paper consultation stage) was during summer 2020. The Draft Plan consultation was during summer 2021. The final consultation onMaterial Amendments to the Draft Plan will be in April 2022. During each stage, there has been extensive and meaningful consultation with community groups and stakeholders in relation to Cork City. Extensive meetings were held with community groups and stakeholders during Draft Plan stage, along with a bespoke youth engagement
