Minister Simon Coveney TD has strongly welcomed the announcement that the 2014 Irish Open will return to Cork for the first time in 12 years to be hosted in Fota Island Resort.

This is a huge opportunity to attract large number of people to Cork next summer. The positive economic impact on many of the sectors such as food and beverage, hospitality, travel and the overall tourism sector will be substantial”, said the Minister.

With many household names in the golfing world coming to our city I know everyone in Cork will get behind this event and be really excited about it”, concluded Minister Coveney.
