At the Community Initiative Awards ceremony for the South West Region held in Killarney on 25th June 1999, Cork City Council were the proud recipients of the Award for the Public Authority category. The Awards are organised annually at Regional and National level to recognise the initiative and effort of Sponsors and Participants on FÁS Community Employment projects throughout Ireland. 

Cork City Council's project focuses on a wide range of environmental improvement schemes in Parks and green areas in the Cork city area. These schemes are carried out in conjunction with FÁS and Cork City Partnership. Emphasis is placed on providing valuable employment experience and training for unemployed people, particularly the long-term unemployed, with the objective of progression to full-time employment.
