Spike Island To Push For Increased Funding
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
Spike Island is expected
to push for extra funding to develop the site, when management
meet with
tourism officials tomorrow (Friday 15 December). According to a County Council source, manage- ment on Spike Island are keen to secure extra fund- ing, to further develop the site ahead of their win at the International Tourism awards earlier this week. Phase two of the rede-
velopment of the Island was hamstrung when the Local Authority
were
turned down by the tour- ist body for grant aid of €7million. The fund was being sought to provide further exhibition areas, a visitor interpretive tourist
centre train and connecting
the pier to the fort. The Island was rated
the best island in the world on Monday last, achieving an International Travel Award in Vietnam. The 104 acre island lo-
cated in the centre of Cork Harbour
came second
only to Machu Picchu at the Travel cars.
