07.06.2005: Cork City VEC running out-of-date computer aided drafting (CAD) tutorials. City and Guilds courses for CAD that are run by Cork City VEC are not up to the job of providing proper skills for architectural technicians or interior designers. Graduates are leaving colleges with little more than rudimentary CAD skills. Overall the standard of architectural drawing in ireland is slipping with knock on consequences for the building trade and for new home owners.
05.06.2005: - APATHY. newcorkcity spoke to a number of people who felt frustrated that cork city council is not listening to the people of cork and that nothing will be done to improve things. newcorkcity may be able to help but only with the support of the people......
- newcorkcity was happy to receive some interesting comments regarding the quality of this site: "this website is f*cking awful." unfortunately the individual(s) didn't feel like qualifying their comments or including their contact details so we cannot retrieve further information. ah well, looks like newcorkcity isn't everyone's cup of tea........ we must be doing something right then. thanks for the feedback whoever you are!
03.06.2005: Minister McDowell, Minister inJustice. Michael McDowell continues to set new standards incompetence. Read today's www.irishexaminer.com article "Wall of Silence"

27.05.2005: - price of social and community housing conference in Cork city on 30/31 May: €475. cannot be reduced according to organisers, despite the protests of many who would have wished to attend.
- www.newcorkcity.com forum thread snubbed by www.archiseek.com. a new thread was posted on www.boards.ie/ www.corkcity.org.
- dark mood in town. retailers seem to be feeling the pinch of having had prices too high. customers are talking not just with their feet but with their mouses. level of customer service has decreased. newcorkcity suggests innovation is the only way out.

25.05.2005: - newcorkcity forum initiates on www.boards.ie. all welcome. thanks to contributors for the suggestion.
Also the conference on Homelessness Cork on 24th and 25th of May in Millenium Hall, Cork.
the report: newcorkcity thought there was an atmosphere of progress at the conference. simon community stated that the infrastructure (i.e. houses) are now more or less in place, but there remains the task of supporting the individual to ensure self-empowerment. though there is a lot more work to do, the future certainly does look bright. ncc challenged the city council and the cork chamber of commerce to give ncc or associated parties a space in the coal quay to employ three homeless people, and 20 square metres of floor space in mahon point shopping centre to employ a further five people selling crafts, books, and merchandise under a strong newly created brand. simon community were very supportive of the initiative. ncc awaits a constructive response from the city council and the cork chamber of commerce. thanks especially to collete kelleher of simon cork who was instrumental in organising the conference.
traffic count for 26th May 2005 alone: 75 visitors.
24.05.2005- "cork is dying"
one shop owner in cork stated that her business was dying, complaining that if people could park for longer than one hour in the city that it would help enormously. newcorkcity offered to feature her premises, highlighting a simple innovative approach that she has taken to get extra business. but she declined the offer on the basis that if newcorkcity featured this, everyone would copy it. newcorkcity told her that she would always be known as the instigator of this idea as far as newcorkcity was concerned. however, newcorkcity respects her wishes and will not feature her.
