Cork Gaeltacht a blueprint for heritage protection

A blueprint for promoting and protecting the heritage of the Mid-Cork Gaeltacht shows how doing so could also help sustain the region’s population and economy.

The benefits are outlined in a draft plan drawn up for Cork County Council to guide the conservation, management, and interpretation of various aspects of heritage in the 100-square mile Múscraí Gaeltacht near the Cork-Kerry border.
