Minister brings the sun on tour of West Cork projects

On arriving outside the Ludgate Hub in Skibbereen, Co Cork, Minister Michael Ring was told that he’d brought the sunny weather with him. “We have it 52 weeks a year, so we have,” came the instant reply.

The Rural and Community Affairs Minister was in typically effervescent form on a whistle-stop tour around West Cork, but was quick to point out that it was far from his first visit to these parts.

“I have been on holidays in this place many, many times,” he said.
