Cavan/Monaghan Fianna Fáil TD Brendan Smith welcomes the decision by Fáilte Ireland to expand Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands to include all of Co Cavan.

“Co Cavan has been divided between Hidden Heartlands and Ancient East and I believe consolidation under one Brand will bring benefits in marketing our county and showcasing our great tourism strengths and attractions.

For many years now tourism has become an increasingly significant contributor to our local economy and creation of employment.

Recently we have had announcements of significant investment in Cavan’s tourism product and we will see further enhancement of local facilities and the further development of our natural resources which will bring more tourists to our region”, stated Deputy Brendan Smith.
