Ambitions to develop Doneraile attraction

A voluntary group which engineered a huge increase in visitor numbers to Doneraile Park does not intend to sit on its laurels.

Doneraile Development Association (DDA) has a five-year plan which will rocket the north Cork landmark into becoming one of the Republic’s top free attractions, with projected yearly figures of 800,000.

Fáilte Ireland figures, just published, show the historic park was among the top three free visitor attractions in the country, and the biggest outside of Leinster.
