Road into new estate to be named after Mark Carroll

INTERNATIONAL athletics star Mark Carroll is to have a road near his family home named after him.

Builder Paul Duggan, of Northside Developments, who is building a 271-house estate in Knocknaheeny on Cork’s northside, has agreed to name the road leading into the estate after Carroll.

He is working on a plaque to name it Mark Carroll Road. It is hoped an unveiling ceremony will be arranged within the next few days so Carroll can attend.
