Councillors back Cork car ban calling negativity around measures 'extraordinary'

City councillors have again backed the controversial afternoon car ban on Cork's main street with one suggesting that those who are constantly talking negatively about it are cutting their own throats.

FF Cllr Terry Shannon made the comment at Monday's council meeting which debated a motion from his party colleague, Tim Brosnan, calling for the City Centre Movement Strategy (CCMS) to be suspended, and another motion from Independent Cllr Paudie Dineen calling for the car ban to be lifted at weekends.
