Camden Fort Meagher, near Crosshaven in Cork harbour played a key role in the defence of Ireland, and the west coast of England and Wales, for almost 400 years.The remedial works, which cost €480,000 included the excavation, waterproofing and backfilling of the barrel-vaulted roofs of the casemate block, which houses many of the fort's exhibitions.
Up to 500 members of the British Armed Forces and 30 officers, were stationed there during World War I. Volunteer Daniel Maverley said:"We could only take it so far as volunteers. The Council came in and they are upping the game, for want of a better word, and they are taking it to the next stage - they are taking it from two days up to five days a week, that's a huge step and it will benefit the local community and eventually, in the future, the harbour area."
