Finbarr Buckley (Coach) The players on the U14’s team have shown exceponal dedicaon to this cause and this was borne out with good results in weather condions that could only be described as atrocious. With a squad of 26 players we are averaging 22 players at training on Monday and Wednesday nights despite the weather, this is testament not only to the player’s dedica- on but also is down to the Training sessions which are being offered. The Coaches make each session as inclusive and “Fun” for every player as it possibly can be and this is rewarded with high aendances at training, commitment to the training session and a very posive atude within the team. The U14’s have 2 games remaining in the League, The first against Kinsale next Saturday and the last is away to Youghal date to be confirmed, they then head to the west of Ireland for a short break in Galway.

Cork. ii AUTHORS NOTE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT When the Cork Constitution Club celebrated the centenary of its foundation I had the privilege of writing the history. Now I have been entrusted with updating that chronicle. While obviously the emphasis will be on the events of the last twenty-five years - the most momentous period in the history of rugby union - as a tribute to the founding fathers, the first chapter of the original history will yet again appear. While it would not be practical to include a detailed history of the first 100 years chapter two is a brief resume of the achievements of the first fifty years and likewise chapter three embraces the significant events of the second fifty years in the illustrious history of one of Ireland’s great sporting institutions. There follows the detailed history and achievements, and they were considerable, of the last twenty five years. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to many people for their help during the compilation of this book. In that regard I would particularly like to thank Noel Walsh, the man with whom I liaised during the writing of the book.

Lynch has yet to feature this season. 1990/91, 1997/98 On the plus side it was great to see Charlie Gallagher Shield Winners (1) make his first team debut in Cobh last week. Charlie is 1995/96 the latest player to come through the Academy ranks at Bray to play for the first team. Charlie was top scorer for National League B Division Champions (2) the under 17s last season. 1991/92, 1998/99 Our Academy teams returned to training this week in Enda McGuill Cup (1) preparation for the season.

I enclose for your consideration the 2021 draft Budget for Cork City Council. I am presenting a balanced draft budget to the members of Cork City Council for 2021. The budget represents an investment in the delivery of services to the city of €226m. This is an increase of approximately €4m compared to the 2020 budget. The main contributors to the increase in expenditure are (1) An increase in payroll of €0.8m (2) Increase in pensions of €0.5m (3) Increase in funding for public lighting of €1.6m. (4) Increase in funding for Traffic Signals of €0.4m. The preparation of the 2021 budget for consideration and adoption by Cork City Council has proved to be an extremely challenging task. As a result of Covid-19, the general economic climate and state of our national and local finances have been severely impacted. In the case of Cork City Council, due to Covid-19 lockdown and the gradual reopening and then closing of business, our income sources have come under pressure and this has had a knock on effect on our ability to provide services in these times. Cork City Council will have reduced income in 2021 from the majority of its income sources.
