Parents criticise Cork City Hall over playground U-turn

Parents fighting for a public playground which has been stalled for almost a decade have criticised Cork City Hall for doing a U-turn on their fundraising offer.

Last year, city officials turned down the fundraising offer from parents in Bishopstown to secure the playground, plans for which were first drawn up in 2008.

They were told fundraising was not necessary because the council fully funds its own playgrounds.
