Manure dumped on the car of local candidate Noreen Murphy

A community activist who led a campaign against widespread illegal dumping in parts of Cork’s northside says she will not be intimidated into silence after a manure attack on her car.

Noreen Murphy, who is running as an independent candidate in next week’s local elections, spoke out as gardaí continue their investigation into the incident at her home in Ballyvolane on Wednesday night: “I am not going to give up fighting for the safety of my family and the other families in my community, and that’s a fact."
