Cork County Council granted €500,000 to mark 475km of cycling routes
Eurovelo cycling routes run along the Atlantic Coast from Norway to Portugal and passes through eleven Irish counties.
The latest funding means the entire Irish route from Donegal to Wexford will be fully signposted.
The route is described as the Wild Atlantic Way for cyclists and runs mainly along the coast, using quieter roads that direct cyclists away from busier areas.
Eurovelo 1 (The Atlantic Coast Route) is 11,000 kilometres long and stretches from Norway, through Scotland and Northern Ireland into Donegal and follows the coast of Ireland through Leitrim, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Kerry, Cork, Waterford before finishing in Ireland at Rosslare. It then continues through Wales, England, France and Spain before concluding in Portugal.
