Some excellent news just in on the Kinsale allotments front. A local
farmer is setting aside a field for allotments just outside Kinsale -
cross the 'new bridge' and it's the first entrance on the left after
the turn off for Sandycove.

If you are interested in renting a plot, call Mairead before Friday
11th April (after that date they will use any unused land for sowing
barley). Her number is: 087 6316625. I understand there is still
enough land for about 20 plots. Each plot is €100 for 11 months for 200m sq. which is an excellent deal.

From what I have heard, the land is good, though may need added
nutrition, is on a south facing slope and the farmer will be putting
in various facilities such as a water supply etc. It sounds like a
great opportunity.

In TTK's continuing search, after Cork County Council informed us that
they have no land available, the Sisters of Mercy on Compass Hill are

considering a recent request by us. Fingers crossed!

It's good to see this is still on the table. Hope you will find some land soon.

Surely land that would have been laid out for sites & is now lying idle could be temporarily used as allotments? Until (if?) the economy picks up somewhat? FAST action need to be taken here, some are predicting food shotages in the country within a year!!

Thanks Alva. I mentioned that point about land in our submission to the Town Council but they said they have no land available. Still awaiting a reply from Cork Co Co.
