In the 1940s and 50s Clonakilty as well as many other Cork towns was fairly ‘shook’. It is now bustling and has an air of prosperity. A lot of the old town has been refurbished in a sensitive manner and old shop fronts preserved. An interesting feature which other towns in West Cork share but not to the same extent is bi-lingual commercial signs. This is a sample.

The bi-lingual signage in Clonakilty is the work of the sign artist Tomás Tuipéar who has promoted the Irish language in his fine quality signage for the past 30 years.
