• A grant cannot be paid where the applicant is defaulting on commercial rates payments. Official rates agreements must be in place with Cork City Council for accounts in arrears.
• Payment of grant will be withheld in the case of damage to public property.
• Any subsequent changes to the proposal (from what was described in the original application) must be agreed in writing with the Council in advance of work commencing. Failure to do so may jeopardise the payment of the Council’s contribution.
