River walk may be closed

A RIVERSIDE walk in Clonakilty which cost in the region of €70,000 several years ago may now have to be closed off at certain times because of anti-social activity in the west Cork tourist town.

Gates may have to be erected at either end of the 150-yard walk which is across the road from the landmark Waterfront complex and runs along one side of a local supermarket, ending at the well-known Billy Houlihan footbridge.

The measure is believed to be one of a number under consideration, after the issue was raised at meeting of Clonakilty town council, this week.
