The report will build on the previous Economic Study 2007 and give an up to date recommendations on developing Cork Docklands an international location for business and economic investment.

Pat Ledwidge, Director of Services, Docklands, Cork City Council said: "While we are experiencing poor economic conditions at present, Cork must be ready when the economy improves in the next few years. Cork Docklands is a significant asset to the city and nationally and will be a key contributor to the growth of Cork in the years to come in terms of facilitating business and economic growth for the city and the region and also providing for residential population. This report will be a key element of delivering a strategy to increase existing and bring new global business to Cork."

The study is being co-funded by Cork City Council and the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government.
