Plans to acquire UNESCO status for the Transatlantic Cable Station on Valentia island, regarded by many as the birth-place of global communication, are progressing behind the scenes, and Kerry County Council hopes to be in a position to submit its application in the coming months.
The Department of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media, which is overseeing the project, has moved the deadline for submissions to later in the year due the pandemic and will now accept submissions for the State s Tentative List for UNESCO sites in June of this year.
