Cork 2005
Description
Cork 2005 has been set up as an independent company with an operating, budget of €13.5 million. Funding has been put in place by Cork City Council and the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism. Sponsorship will be used to augment this budget.
We are committed to developing a programme of events that are engaging, inspiring, of exceptional quality, which will allow the citizens of Cork, Ireland and elsewhere to celebrate the city, to reconnect with a sense of place and to become active participants in culture.
We are also placing an emphasis on legacy. We see 2005 as a springboard forward rather than an end in itself. We will actively engage with the proposed enlarged European Union. We intend to become a host city for diverse cultures.
