Emergency funding call for Shaky Bridge

The Government has been urged to provide special emergency funding to repair one of Cork’s greatest landmarks.

It follows confirmation that no funding was provided in a specific grant scheme this year to carry out repairs to the famous Daly’s Bridge — affectionately known to generations as the Shaky Bridge.

Fianna Fáil councillor Tony Fitzgerald said with the regeneration of Fitzgerald’s Park almost complete, the bridge, which provides access to the park from the northside of the city, should be upgraded.
