As the upcoming local and European elections approach, Cork Business Association (CBA) is calling on its members and the broader business community in Cork City to vote for candidates who will champion the needs of the business community and city.
Aaron Mansworth, President of Cork Business Association, said, “The CBA is fully conscious of the many challenges that the electorate faces from both a social and economic perspective. As a business representative organisation, our message to our members and the broader business community is to consider candidates who will help address the pressing issues that affect our city and our business environment. We need our elected representatives to support policies to advance our business community, drive economic growth, and enhance the overall quality of life in Cork.”
