"On behalf of Birmingham City Council, I welcome this next phase in the development of the Irish Quarter. It's both a recognition of the contribution which the Irish Community has made to the City's physical, social and cultural developments over the last 50 years and the tremendous investment opportunity which we feel it offers for businesses looking to establish a presence in Birmingham."
(Mike Whitby, Leader of Birmingham City Council)
