As part of their Commemorations Programme, Cork County Council provided support to the Cobh 1916 Centenary Committee for their plans to celebrate a very significant anniversary for the harbour town; it’s name change from Queenstown to Cobh on July 2nd, 1920.

Although the proposed re enactment to mark this centenary cannot now take place, Cork County Council is committed to continued support of this group and the many others throughout the County who will deliver commemoration events in 2021.
