Threat from subsidence and falling trees to close section of tourist route
County engineer Noel O’Keeffe said he could understand the frustration expressed by traders in Bandon and Innishannon, who are concerned they will lose business during the peak tourist season.
However, Mr O’Keeffe said he had no choice but to close a 2km section of the N71 road on the western side of Innishannon because of the danger it presents.
