The Queen to visit Cork City and Cashel, Co Tipperary

THE NEWS that Queen Elizabeth is to visit Cork city and the Rock of Cashel in Co Tipperary during her official State visit in May has received a broad welcome from business and political leaders in both counties.

Lord Mayor of Cork Cllr Michael O’Connell said he welcomed the visit by the Queen, who is expected to tour both the English Market in the city centre and the National Tyndall Institute during the visit to Leeside.

“It will be a great boost not just for Cork city but for the southwest region as it will really bring us world attention and help promote us as a tourist destination,” said Mr O’Connell who wrote to British ambassador Julian King last month to invite the Queen to the city.

Cork Chamber chief executive Conor Healy said that the visit, the first to Cork by a British monarch since 1903 when King Edward VII attended the Great Exhibition, would help cement trade and business links including tourism between Cork and Britain.
