Red Bull ‘regrets’ blocking cycle lane for photo shoot

An energy drink producer has conceded it “regrets” parking several branded cars along a Cork city centre cycle lane for a promotional photograph.

Red Bull faced a social media backlash this week after it posted a picture of a dozen women standing on branded Mini Cooper cars parked along the cycle lane outside the courthouse on Washington St.

The cycle lane, which continues inbound from University College Cork towards the city centre, is one of the busiest in Cork.
