Council mulls over high-heel challenge to test road surface

A WEST CLARE contractor and a group of town councillors have challenged each other to traverse Kilrush’s Henry Street in high heels to resolve a dispute on whether the road is even.

Businessman Ger Power first suggested Councillor Deirdre Culligan take the high-heel test after she criticised the finishing of cable-laying work carried out by his company, Benarr Construction.

Ms Culligan stood by her comments and said Mr Power should slip into high heels himself and walk the streets if he felt she was wrong.
