Covid-19 has delivered another major economic blow to Cork County and to East Cork in particular with this year’s Ironman-Cork triathlon cancelled in the interests of public health.

The event was scheduled for Youghal over the weekend of August 13, 14 and 15, but will now take place in 2022 instead.
