Wild Atlantic Way brochure an insult, says councillor

Councillors in County Cork are demanding Fáilte Ireland reprint a newly distributed brochure on the Wild Atlantic Way because of “glaring omissions” which they claim will hurt the tourism industry in the region.

Deputy county mayor Councillor Joe Carroll (FF) said he feels “insulted” by the fact that the names, addresses, and contact numbers for tourist offices in Bantry and Skibbereen are missing from the new publication.

He said both tourist offices are manned by volunteers who are doing the work Fáilte Ireland should be doing and to leave them out of the list is not just insulting but very damaging to the West Cork region.
