Call to fix Kanturk’s ‘dangerous’ bridge wall

A POTENTIAL death-trap for school children will not be fixed during their summer holidays, it has been revealed.

Despite pleas from a school principal in north Cork, hundreds of his pupils will still have to walk the gauntlet on a protected bridge that has walls so low one of them could easily topple over into the river below.

Last month Seamus Buckley, principal of Coláiste Treasa in Kanturk, made a passionate plea to Cork County Council to rectify the situation.
