Daredevil climbers face prosecution for tower antics

Up to 10 youths who scaled scaffolding surrounding an east Cork monument at the weekend may be prosecuted by a specialist construction company.

The youths accessed the roof of the four-storey, 30m-high clock tower in Youghal on four consecutive nights and posted footage of their activities on Facebook.

Cork’s MMD Construction Ltd is liaising with gardaí to consider how best to enhance security on the site following the illegal activity.
