Many storm-damaged West Cork bridges and roads await repair

Commuters and tourists still face delays and detours in West Cork as the county council battles to repair serious damage inflicted in the region during last winter’s storms.

A number of bridges, roads and culverts have been seriously damaged in the region; and despite their best efforts council engineers are only getting to grips with some of them now.

However, councillors have asked for some repairs to be postponed because they fear that some works will hinder tourism in the region.
