Angry village residents protest over poor road

LONG-suffering residents are set to protest tomorrow at the appalling condition of a national primary road which runs through two mid-Cork villages.

The road, the N22, has deteriorated significantly since drains were dug underneath it in 2007. It has been described as an undulating road which presents serious danger to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Last February the residents of Ballyvourney and Ballymakeera had planned to block the main Cork-Killarney road, but postponed the protest at the last minute due to the unexpected death of a member of the organising committee, Muintir Bhaile Bhuirne.
