A girl who chipped her teeth and suffered cuts to her face when she fell in an alleged potholed and "patched" laneway near her home has settled her High Court action for €70,000.

A quick-thinking pedestrian in East Cork has shared a photo showing the condition of a road in his locality.

More than 200 motorists contacted Cork County Council about the costs incurred from hitting pot- holes in one area of Co Cork, and there are fears that more damage could be inflicted on vehicles because roads are not being properly repaired after watermain leaks.
