South Parish Historical Trail, Launch 16 September 2010

I’ve been an advocate that Cork City should have historical walking trail panels showing people the city’s rich history. I’m delighted to see the roll-out this week of the South Parish historical trails route. Pictures of the launch last night (Thursday) are below. Well done to Cork City Council’s Roads and Transportation Directorate and to Ronnie Herlihy (local historian, author and one of the directors of the South Parish Historical Society) in providing information and for guiding the launch group around last evening. A northside trail was launched last year. More information from Cork City Hall or from the Tourist Office.
