Lifeblood of Kanturk is diversity

IT didn’t get within a roar of the Celtic Tiger and, even during those heady days, a north Cork town lost its biggest industry.

But now Kanturk is the envy of many other towns, having seen its number of business outlets increase by 22 in the past two years.

Working on the ethos that “small is beautiful and sustainable”, Kanturk Chamber of Commerce can take a bow — especially as it has overseen and encouraged the development of a diverse range of outlets which would make a small city proud.
