Varadkar pays tribute to all involved in Fota House restoration

The tourism minister paid tribute yesterday to everyone who helped to save, protect and conserve historic Fota House in Cork since it came into public ownership almost 40 years ago.

Leo Varadkar was speaking during his first visit to the property to mark the completion of a €2.5m four-year restoration project.

“It’s great to be here at what is the official opening of the refurbishment of Fota House,” he said.
