Calls for National Park plan for the Gearagh

The Gearagh near Macroom, Co Cork.

A draft management plan for The Gearagh, a submerged glacial woodland and nature reserve two kilometres southwest of Macroom, Co Cork, is in the early stages of being compiled by the Electricity Supply Board.

Minister of State Kieran O’Donnell confirmed the move in the Dail, following calls by Deputy Aindreas Moynihan to develop the site into a national park.
