Plans have been drawn up to increase visitor numbers at a coastal fort in Cork harbour, which include a new app for self-guided tours, upgrading some buildings and creating picnic areas in its moat.

John Forde — who heads a company formed by Cork County Council to oversee the running of Camden/Fort Meagher in Crosshaven — has outlined a series of measures planned to increase footfall at the site.
