Tributes paid to ‘Gentleman Ned’ for 40 years’ engineering service

TRIBUTES have been paid to a retiring local authority official, responsible for overseeing billions of euro worth of infrastructure projects in Co Cork.

Public representatives and senior officials praised county engineer, Ned Flynn, for a long and distinguished career in public service which began in 1967.

In recent years, he was involved in constructing major sewerage treatment plant and water supply projects, but will be particularly known for developing bypasses in Glanmire, Carrigtwohill, Watergrasshill, Fermoy and Skibbereen.
