Shandon Clock: Time stands still for liar’s four faces

It’s affectionately referred to as the city’s “four-faced liar” because the times never match up, but now all four faces of the iconic Shandon clock have simply stopped working.

It is believed the clocks have all been stuck in or around five minutes to seven for more than two weeks.

The clock’s upkeep is maintained by Cork City Council. Last night, a spokeswoman said the clock has never broken before for a sustained period.
