Big boost for Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way

THE Irish government is  to pump a further €1.4 million (£1.53 million) into the recently- developed Wild Atlantic Way which, when completed, will be the planet’s longest defined coastal drive, stretching 1,500 miles from the Inishowen  Peninsula in Donegal in the north down to Kinsale in West Cork, and taking tourists to more than 150 ocean-side attractions.

The new funding, says the Republic’s tourism minister, ‘will make the route even more tempting and ensure that we develop its full potential to deliver and hold onto the greatest number of tourists’.

The latest investment will be focused on three projects in Mayo, Galway, and Cork, and will include a walking and cycling trail known as the Galway Greenway. When finished, the trail will contribute more than 48 miles to the country’s  national cycle network.
