A big day for tourism today as we mark 10 years of the Wild Atlantic Way at #Meitheal2024, Ireland’s most important tourism trade event. Since we launched the brand at Meitheal 2014, the @wildatlanticway has become a globally recognised tourism brand and has provided an economic engine for the west of Ireland. New report estimates that almost 2 million more tourists visited the region in 2023 than in 2013. The Wild Atlantic Way drives €3billion in revenue per year, an increase of 58% in 10 years.

Douglas Library will launch a new exhibition “Remembering Lusitania” on Wednesday the 17 May at 11.30 am. This poignant exhibition recalls the tragedy of the sinking of the Lusitania which was torpedoed off the coast of Kinsale on 7 May 1915 by a German U-Boat during WW1.

The Lusitania Memorial Garden & Museum at the Old Head of Kinsale Co Cork🇮🇪 (2017) has a 20m bronze ‘Wave’ sculpture with the names of those on board at the time of its sinking. Just right of the Old Head GC in the distance, 17km offshore is where she sank with the loss of 1,193.
