Mardyke residents demand assurances on dams

THE residents of one of Cork city’s most famous areas want Government assurances that the dams on the River Lee are safe.

The residents of the Mardyke have also expressed fears they will be “washed away and found in Youghal”, if the dams fail in the event of another major flood.

They have called a special meeting in the new year to seek assurances from the Government and the ESB that the dams are safe.
