Three cars overturning in 24 hours prompts emergency repairs 

Cork County Council has carried out emergency repairs to part of a noted death-trap road, after three cars overturned in the space of 24 hours.

However, councillors are now calling on the National Roads Authority (NRA) to release funding to properly upgrade a reportedly dangerous section of the N72 (Mallow-Fermoy road) near the birthplace of Nano Nagle at Killavullen.

Following nearly 10 road deaths, over a couple of miles either side of Killavullen in the past decade, the NRA released money to upgrade and realign parts of the N72.
