Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
play in enhancing quality of life for citizens, communities and supporting inward investment.
Public Realm. The wider benefits of arts, culture and creativity for citizens and communities are provided for in detail under the Strategy’s referenced under Objectives 8.14 and 8.15. City Council is keen to enhance the appeal of the city at night-time to a wide variety of users including families. ‘ Quality Attractions and Night-Time Economy ’ are addressed under paragraphs 10.13-10.16 and Objective 10.10 of the Draft Plan. In addition, Cork City Council participated on the Nigh Time Economy Task Force and will be at the forefront of implementing the recommendations. Cork City Council is also preparing the Cork City Arts and Culture Strategy 2022 – 2026 which will contain measures aimed at supporting the arts and culture sector of the city. Recommendation: No Change. Chapter 8 includes an objective to implement the forthcoming Arts and Culture Strategy. Detailed actions in the area of inclusive arts provision are for consideration within the Arts and Culture Strategy. Objective 8.14 sets out policy in relation to the Cork City Arts and Culture Strategy 2022 – 2026, which is currently being prepared by Cork City Council. Recommendation: No Change. Chapter 8 includes a number of objectives that support the development of arts and cultural facilities in the city. These include Objective 8.13 Cork’s Cultural Capacity, Objective 8.14 Cork City Arts and Culture Strategy 2022 - 2026, Objective 8.15 Creative Cork Strategy and Objective 8.16 Arts and the Public Realm. The provision of a media hub is subject to a range of factors however the Draft Plan generally facilitates such a facility in appropriate locations subject to normal planning considerations. Recommendation:
Support "Arts for All Cork" to realise the ambition of Cork City as a “European Centre of Excellence for inclusion in the arts”. Develop, promote and platform the work of disabled artists / artists identifying as disabled in line with SDG 11 and the UNCRPD.

Cork Community Media Hub in Cork would be of great benefit to the community and think it could enhance some of the work being proposed in the Cork City Development Plan.
