Important step made in efforts to gain UNESCO World Heritage Status for Valentia
An important step has been made in efforts to secure UNESCO World Heritage status for Valentia Island.
The 19th century construction of the transatlantic cable between Valentia and Heart’s Content in Newfoundland, Canada was ground-breaking in the history of global communications.
On a visit to Valentia, the Minister of Tourism and Culture for Newfoundland and Labrador signed a memorandum of understanding with Irish representatives including Kerry County Council.
