Goleen & District Community Council spans the Mizen Peninsula of West Cork
incorporating the District Electoral Divisions of Crookhaven, Goleen,
Toormore, Dunmanus, Dunbeacon and Lowertown. Goleen village, the focal
point, is situated 14 miles from the village of Schull and over 80 miles
from Cork City. One of the peripheral peninsulas along the West Cork
coastline, it is endowed with spectacular scenery, but also has had to
combat the inherent problems of such areas - poor land, residue effects of
emigration, limited employment opportunities and a decline in the primary
sectors such as agriculture and fishing. Goleen Parish from Lowertown west
to Mizen Head, south to Crookhaven and north to Dunbeacon is one of the
most unspoilt parts of Ireland . This is a vibrant,
growing, lively community, which is attracting more residents and keeping
young people at home. |
