Fine Gael councillor John Paul O’Shea said Cork County Council had applied to get North Cork included in the Munster Vales tourism promotion but was rejected

Anger has been expressed that large swathes of North Cork are not being actively promoted by State-funded bodies, meaning the area's tourist attractions are losing out.

County councillors expressed dismay after hearing that the majority of the region falls ‘outside the pale’ when it comes to promotion by the various State agencies.
