The launch of the new Cruise Tourism strategy at County Hall.
A NEW strategy on cruise tourism in West Cork was formally launched at County Hall this week.

Forty eight cruise ships have dropped anchor in Bantry Bay in the past 10 years and it is estimated that this was worth €1 million to the local economy.

THE recently established West Cork Islands Community Council was formally launched by the Deputy Mayor of County Cork, Cllr Declan Hurley at a meeting of Cork County Council in County Hall yesterday.
Syd Cheatle, a resident of Sherkin Island was elected chairperson of the new body which will be in a position to speak for all of the islands’ communities and work for their long-term overall interests, as a voluntary, collective, representative structure modelled on Muintir na Tíre.
