Initiative hopes to make Cork Ireland's food capital

Home to over 60% of the country's artisan food makers, Fáilte Ireland says that Co Cork, and in particular Cork city, is "uniquely positioned" to become a major food destination for international tourists.
Their comments come as the city celebrates the success of its latest tourism initiative, the 'Cork on a Fork' food festival.
Piloted last year, the five-day Cork City Council festival now includes some 100 events with the support of local traders and food producers.
The festival opened on Wednesday night with a street event on Princes Street for 100 diners showcasing some of the delights that are on offer.
