Former city manager fails in bid to stop controversial one-way system

A CONTROVERSIAL one-way system is to be introduced on a lane in a Cork suburb despite the objections of a former city manager.

Councillors have voted to finally introduce the system on the narrow Clover Hill Lane in Blackrock, which links the Skehard Road with the Mahon Golf Course and Mahon Industrial Estate, following more than two years of reports and discussion on the matter.

A temporary one-way system was installed on the lane as a pilot scheme last summer, but several complaints were received.
