Purchased 8 years ago but time stands still @Corkcoco and @PortofCork. Shameful neglect of a listed building.

Today is the final day for tenders to carry out works on Clock Tower.

Here's an idea, a full restoration of Clock Tower?
#RestoreClockTower
Tender issued today.
They want to plaster and paint it and leave the clock and PVC windows as is.
If you're going to do a job, do it properly or don't do it at all. @PortofCork @Corkcoco

It's easy to make promises @Corkcoco but we're still left waiting. #RestoreClockTower
Well done @corkcitycouncil
Restoration has been completed on the Shandon clock in Cork City.
The structure, which was installed in 1847 by Cork Corporation, is known as ‘the four-faced liar’ because the four clock faces did not historically show exactly the same time.

We live in hope. The Clock Tower is in the possession of Cork County Council and Port of Cork for almost 8 years. Enough waiting, no more excuses. #RestoreClockTower
