Free wifi may be provided in Bantry to support trade

Free wifi is being considered for one of West Cork’s largest towns as part of a new retail and town supports programme. Cork County Council said the new scheme being piloted in Bantry will be launched at a breakfast and networking event in the town on May 15.

The scheme will include mentoring, business development, one-to-one website advisory clinics, access to a €2,500 online grant from the Local Enterprise Office, and an opportunity to complete a retail digital marketing e-learning course.
