Kinsale - Barry Friendship Pact
The first Friendship pact was signed in Kinsale in May 1999 between Kinsale Harbour Board and the Merchant Navy Association, Barry and reciprocated at the Seaview Labour Club, Barry in September 2001.
Kinsale Town Council and Barry TC signed a friendship pact in the Municipal Hall, Kinsale in 2009. Sadly Kinsale TC (along with the harbour board) is no more so the second leg of the pact in Barry could possibly involve a delegation including a member of Cork County Council’s Bandon-Kinsale Municipal District travelling over perhaps for the permanent display of the artefacts or some other event of interest to both ports.
The fostering of sporting, cultural, heritage, maritime, touristic, civic, educational and other links between both Celtic ports is always most welcome, particularly with the soon to be revived Cork-Cardiff air link. There have been exchange visits to Sea Sunday and other maritime events.
