The Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Damian Boylan, has welcomed delegates from across Europe to the 20th Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan Conference at City Hall this morning where leaders in energy, innovation and research will discuss the future of clean energy technologies over the coming days.

The conference is taking place as part of Ireland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

The Lord Mayor also welcomed Timmy Dooley, Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Environment and Energy, who addressed the conference.

The Lord Mayor said: “As one of the European Union's 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission Cities, Cork is working with partners across Europe to demonstrate how cities can lead the transition to a cleaner, greener and more energy-resilient Europe.

“From advancing offshore renewable energy and investing in sustainable mobility, smart technologies and energy-efficient infrastructure, we are working to translate European climate ambition into local action.”

The Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Damian Boylan, has given a cautious welcome this evening to Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan’s decision in relation the former Cork Prison complex on Rathmore Road.

Following a public consultation on the Cork Prison Extension Project, Minister O’Callaghan has approved revised proposals for the former prison complex which will retain a number of structures and features considered to be of particular architectural and historical significance, including:

- the main entrance’s historic gatehouse;
- the cell occupied by Thomas Kent;
- A-Wing and B-Wing immediately adjoining the entrance;
- the stone bastion features and identified sections of the historic prison walls.

The Lord Mayor said: “I welcome the commitment to retain and preserve elements of the historic structure, including the gatehouse, sections of the prison walls and the cell associated with Thomas Kent.

“Given the historical and cultural significance of the prison, particularly its association with significant figures and events in Cork’s history, I and my City Council colleagues will be studying the details of the proposal carefully and the measures proposed to protect and commemorate the site’s important heritage.”
