"WEST is best” is a mantra denizens of East Cork have long had to contend with, but thanks to ongoing investment in infrastructure, industry and hospitality, the East is gradually advancing its claim for a place in the sun. 

New greenways (Midleton to Youghal), the prospect of greatly improved road access east once the Dunkettle Interchange is complete and large-scale investment are really driving the area’s profile.
