Cork County Council spends €10m on tourism promotion

Cork County Council has spent nearly €10m in four years promoting tourism and is aiming to do more to aid the industry.

A report issued by officials showed that, between 2011-2014, the local authority spent €9,669,139 on developing tourism sites and promoting tourism events.

The major proportion, €8,253,377, went on fixing up buildings, which the council believes will pay handsome dividends to the tourism industry in the future.
