The currently concealed sign was partially revealed in 2018 and has been assessed to be still largely intact.
By involving youth groups, clubs & local societies in its restoration, we aim to promote a growing awareness among the local community of its historic significance and commemorate the local volunteers of the Coast Watching Service (CWS) who manned the nearby Look-Out Post from 1939 to 1945 and installed the “EIRE 6” sign in 1943. Through their role in guarding the coastline these men played an integral part in defending Irish neutrality during World War Two.
