Appendix 3 : The Surveys of Shopping Patterns<br />
Views About The Centres<br />
42 Respondents were asked the following question<br />
• Thinking of the area where you live, are you happy with the range and quality of the<br />
shopping you can get to, or are there problems?<br />
43 The results were as follows:<br />

44 In all zones the great majority said they were very happy or somewhat happy with the shopping<br />
they could get to. The proportions were no smaller in the remote North and Far West zones,<br />
where shopping facilities are sparse. Clearly, respondents were making allowance for this<br />
remoteness and felt that taking it into account, the shopping they could get to was in most cases<br />
good.<br />
45 Overall, the main criticisms concerned the range of shops available. Interestingly, this applied<br />
even in the inner zones and to <strong>Cork</strong> city Centre as well as the other two most frequently<br />
mentioned centres – Mallow and Youghal<br />
