While the draw towards East Cork for individuals has stemmed from its proximity to the city, industry and jobs, the investment of public funds has been equally impressive.

The development of towns such as Midelton and Carrigtwohill is clearly laid out in the Cork County Development Plan 2022-2028 and East Cork is certainly one part of the country where such plans have been methodically followed, with elements falling into place in impressive fashion.
