‘Young Offenders’ city trail proposed

You could soon be walking in the footsteps of Cork’s favourite tracksuit-wearing teenage tearaways, Conor and Jock, if a former lord mayor has his way.

Momentum is building behind Fine Gael councillor Des Cahill’s proposal for a Young Offenders-inspired trail through the city of sites featured in the hit TV and film.

Officials in Cork City Council said the success of the TV series, which, like the 2016 film, is based and filmed in Cork, represents an opportunity for showcasing the city.
