Cork City Council is putting its Draft Air Quality Strategy (2021-2026) out for consultation.
The strategy outlines the actions that Cork City Council will undertake between 2021 and 2026 to reduce the concentrations of air pollutants in the city area; thereby positively impacting on the health and quality of life of residents and visitors.
Director of Operations, David Joyce said:
The Strategy builds on significant work being conducted by Cork City Council to develop a high-quality air monitoring system and to develop initiatives that will significantly lower the levels of pollutants in the air in the city.
Cork City Council is focussed on addressing air pollution and continues to enforce the prohibition on the sale of smoky fuel. Cork City Council wants sustainability, quality of life and resilience to be at the heart of our city as it grows,” he said.

- Health and Well-being
