Collins museum to form part of Clon’s €1m renewal

More than €1m is being pumped into urban renewal projects in Clonakilty to renovate the town park and provide a state-of-the-art museum dedicated to the life of Michael Collins.

The proposed museum is at a Georgian house at 7 Emmet Square, where Collins stayed with his sister while attending classes in the town.

Native oak trees are being planted and a fountain is being installed in a public park.
