Fort to be a star attraction in Cork’s ‘cathedral quarter’

The ramparts of a medieval fort which offer unrivalled views over Cork City will be open to the public within weeks after the State handed the historic building back to the city yesterday.

The news was confirmed after the Lord Mayor, Cllr Catherine Clancy, accepted on behalf of the city care of Elizabeth Fort from the minister of state with special responsibility for the Office of Public Works (OPW), Brian Hayes.

The city council’s tourism unit, Team, will advertise soon for operators to manage the facility.
