That this council promote locally produced products and crafts under the brand name “Killarney” by supporting cooperatives and business incubation. This may also encourage and promote other skill producers to locate here. Examples of such products could include pottery, glass, knitware, paintings and other craft works.
This local by design concept of cottage industries could be promoted and set up in the Pretty Polly site with IT support from the Killarney Technology Innovation Centre.
Incubation support will help “brand killarney” business get established while keeping expenses low, while cooperatives allow for shared shop space and marketing efforts. Both allow artists and crafters to form a support network which is very helpful to future business growth.
