Floods and ice road damage tops €20m
The county council has sent a damage inventory to the Department of Transport in the hope of securing necessary funding to complete repairs.
Some councillors are fearful the road network will deteriorate even further if central funding is not committed. At a meeting in Mallow yesterday, senior executive engineer Aidan Weir said around €8.2 million in damage was inflicted on roads in South Cork, a further €6.8 in North Cork and €5.5 million in West Cork.
