A few ideas for the powers that be

WE are a small group with ideas we feel can be beneficial to this area, or even to the country as a whole, if they are implemented by the powers that be.

The following are some of our ideas:

1. A new ferry route should be inaugurated to serve Cork and La Coruna in Galicia, a Celtic region in northern Spain. This would be ideal for promoting trade and tourism between Ireland, Spain, Portugal and southern France. This service could provide two return sailings to Spain a week (the sailing time to Spain is approximately 23 hours), and one return sailing to Swansea, thus restoring the old ferry service from Cork to Wales (sailing time to Wales is nine to 10 hours).
