Gardaí request crash barrier beside estuary

GARDAÍ have asked Cork County Council to erect a crash barrier alongside an estuary to prevent further tragedies, following an accident earlier this month which claimed the life of a mother and daughter.

Chrissie Twomey and her daughter Kathleen Barrett from Ballincollig drowned after their car was involved in a collision and spun into the River Glashaboy at Glanmire.

The pair had been coming from a wedding in the nearby Vienna Woods Hotel when the accident happened on April 4.
