Bantry needs a marina without delay

Following my holiday break in Bantry over the weekend for the visit of our superb President Michael D Higgins for the launch of the Atlantic challenge, I wish to say the following.

Bantry is the key destination in the generation of tourist and historical interests. It is a halfway house for seafaring vessels such as yachts and power boats which manoeuvre the south west coast in search of suitable ports or stopovers.

The development of a marina in Bantry is a necessity that would fulfil its potential as a navigational stopover.
