Call for action as Battle of Kinsale tourist signs stolen

Heritage campaigners have called for action following the theft of information signs about one of the most important battlefield sites in Irish history.

Members of Kinsale History Society have called on Cork County Council to secure, from theft, the remaining Battle of Kinsale signs.

But they have also called for the remaining signage to be upgraded, for an improved battle display in the town’s museum,and in the long term, for a dedicated Battle of Kinsale centre, given that the town is a gateway to the Wild Atlantic Way tourist route.
