Speaking to RedFM News, the Lord Mayor says Cork's recovery depends will depend on support for business:
"We need to incentivise indigenous businesses. Not only that, we've multinationals we need to take care of here, as well. Combine those two together, I feel that, if they're incentivised, both at a local level and on a national level, through monetary grant aids, through funds, through whatever support we can offer. We as a city, we as a county, and we as a nation, can rebound and revitalise our economy. Because once that happens, we can drive on from that."
