Close to 20 mature trees, up to 40m tall, had to be felled at one of Cork City’s most popular parks.

IN reading Mr Dave Reilly’s comment regarding Dr Michael Murphy’s invitation (March 26) to have President Barack Obama lecture at UCC, I agree that the offer should be withdrawn.

I AM dumfounded and disgusted to read in your newspaper (March 23) that UCC President Dr Michael Murphy has the audacity to invite US President Barack Obama to open a “human rights” lecture series in Cork.

I HAVE recently relocated to Cork city having worked and lived in many other parts of the country.
