A brand new Foroige premises has popped up on McCurtain Street, Fermoy and it is due to become a hive of activity in the coming months.
Following extensive research, a distinct lack of Foroige clubs was recognised from the Mallow area down toward West Waterford.
Through funding from multiple sources, Blackwater Valley Foroige was set up and will offer support, facilities, information, training and guidance across North Cork and West Waterford.
