The Cork Business Association (CBA) has held their second Cleaning and Greening Event on Oliver Plunkett Street and Winthrop Street.

Members of the CBA, local businesses and volunteers came together to refresh the popular city centre streets.

There were a variety of tasks carried out including cleaning, painting, brushing, removing chewing gum and hanging flower boxes.

The initiative is part of a broader CBA campaign which is aimed at improving one street at a time in Cork city. 

“This was about more than just a tidy-up, it was about business owners and locals taking pride in our shared spaces,” said Dave O’Brien, president of the Cork Business Association.
