Work to begin in March to get time moving again in Shandon

Repairs to the stalled clock mechanism in Cork’s landmark Shandon church are due to get under way within weeks.

City manager Tim Lucey has confirmed that tenders are due to be invited soon in the hope of appointing a clock repair company in early March.

“The work continues to be addressed as a high priority and we aim to have Shandon clock back in operation immediately [once] the repair works are completed,” he said.
