Heritage centre kept going by the parish
The parish of Mallow has provided the premises and has substantially subsidised the work.
The result has been not only a heritage data base to the best professional standard but the placement of some hundreds of FÁS trainees in permanent employment. The Heritage Centre at Bank Place, Mallow, is not a profitable enterprise. Many similar centres have been forced to close. Were it not for the ongoing financial support of the parish, our centre could not survive. If it were to close a major service to tourism in the Cork area would be lost.
