West Cork pilgrim path praised as book offers guide to Irish routes

A writer who has walked the country’s ancient pilgrim paths said a West Cork route would deserve the title of the ‘Camino of Ireland’.

Author John G O’Dwyer commended locals for the upgrading of the path from the village of Drimoleague to Gougane Barra.

“A wonderful job has been done in improving this ancient route,” said Tipperary-based Mr O’Dwyer.
