We have so many assets to promote

Given the early success of the Wild Atlantic Way in promoting our natural tourism assets, is there an argument to develop a similar template around a concept to promote the Historic Cork Harbour?

That thought was triggered by an event I attended in the remarkable Board Room of the Cork Harbour Commissioners last week. In a venue steeped in history of significance, not just to Ireland but to the global economy, we heard an historian describe the breadth and depth of heritage that exists across the harbour.

Michael Martin explained that traces of a Phoenician presence exist in the harbour, but so too is evidence of Viking and Norman establishment.
