Taxpayers face €230k traffic lights fiasco bill

IT’S the three-year traffic lights fiasco that is set to cost taxpayers over €230,000.

City officials in Cork have finally given the green light for a €60,000 roundabout to replace one removed for a €175,000 traffic light system that never worked.

The long-running saga at the busy junction of Togher Road and Tramore Road, near the entrance to St Finbarr’s GAA club, should end within months.
