€1.3m museum to honour Michael Collins and other West Cork patriots

A €1.3m museum, dedicated to Michael Collins and two other West Cork patriots, is to open in Clonakilty at the end of June.

Cork County Council, spearheading the project, is also appointing a five-person board to manage the museum at No 7 Emmet Square, a house where Collins once lived and worked.

County councillors at a Municipal District meeting yesterday were updated on developments by council official Justin England.
