Frost adds to road damage in Cork after Storm Frank

Frost damage to roads in Co Cork is likely to further compound the damage from the rainfall during the recent Storm Frank.

The warning came from Cork County Council’s chief executive Tim Lucey, who issued an update report yesterday on repairs following the December 30 storm.

Still awaiting an allocation from central government for work on storm-damaged infrastructure, Mr Lucey said he gave permission for area engineers to carry out urgent repairs.
