Fury as playground plans for Bishopstown stall again due to lack of funds

Plans for a public playground first promised for a suburban Cork park almost a decade ago have stalled again due to lack of funds.

The disappointment came despite the fact local residents had offered earlier this year to help fundraise to secure the facility. But they had been told, at the time, fundraising would not be necessary.

City council officials confirmed last week it had hoped to advance the playground for Murphy’s Farm in Bishopstown this year.
