#CoastalNotes - Two tourist attractions on the south coast will receive funding under the Government's new 'Ireland's Ancient East' initiative.

Cobh's Titanic Connections attraction and guided tours of Hook Lighthouse in Co Wexford are among 12 projects that will share in €1.2 million of funding made available by Minister for Tourism Pascal Donohoe, as TheJournal.ie reports.

Other attractions benefiting from the windfall include Boyne Valley: Waterway Through Time in Trim, Co Meath.

And a further €600,000 will go towards branded signage for the initiative which aims to be an east coast rival to the successful Wild Atlantic Way.
