Wednesday, 1 March 2023 - 4 minutes
David talks about the time he was walking around the park in Ballincollig and came across the old gunpowder buildings and got thinking about how more people need to know about the historical significance of it. He then went on to put a Powdermills Voluntary Committee together. To discover the story behind one of the largest gunpowder mills in the British Isles for many years, covering an area of 130 Acres they collectively developed an app which can be downloaded for free here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ballincollig.powdermills&hl=en_IE&gl=US&pli=1
As a result, they won a .IE Digital Town Award. Entries for this year's awards are now open. If you're interested visit: About .IE Digital Town Awards - .IE (weare.ie)
