Traffic chaos after Cork hurling game at Páirc Uí Chaoimh

City councillors are to seek meetings with the garda traffic corps and the roads and transportation division of Cork City Council on foot of traffic chaos in the aftermath of the senior hurling championship match between Cork and Limerick in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday night.

Motorists caught up in the long queues around Cork Constitution rugby club, Skehard Rd, the Well Rd, Ballinlough Rd, and Boreenmanna Rd vented their anger on social media, describing traffic management as “disastrous”, “crazy”, and “scandalous”.

Terry Shannon, Fianna Fáil councillor and chair of the Ballinlough Community Association, said if there had been an emergency in Ballinlough on Saturday, it would not have been possible for a fire tender or ambulance to get through.
