Push for council to buy historic house as part of tourism plan

LOCAL public representatives are to request that Cork County Council purchase a historic house as part of its plan to turn Cork’s lower harbour into a major tourist attraction.

Councillors on the Carrigaline Area Committee have put down a motion to be debated in County Hall shortly that the council take over the magnificent Georgian-era Crosshaven House.

The owners of the house have put it up for sale with an asking price of €1.6 million.
