English Market visitor rules will avert ‘chaos’

City officials have warned against suspending new visitor controls at Cork’s famous English Market.

Scrapping the controls, which they said were agreed after extensive consultation with the traders’ representative body, would effectively legislate for “chaos and anarchy” in the market this busy summer season.

The warning came from the city council’s head of corporate affairs, Paul Moynihan, last night after Fianna Fáil councillor Tim Brosnan called for a suspension of the new protocols.
