Skate park vote ‘a kick in the teeth’

A CITY council vote against plans to build a skateboard park in Cork was described as a kick in the teeth for young people by a city councillor yesterday.

Socialist Councillor Mick Barry’s comments came as Cork City Council pledged work would begin immediately on identifying a new site.

A council spokesman said it was disappointing that councillors voted against the 75,000 skateboard park.
