Councillors urge officials to close amenities to discourage large gatherings during Covid-19 epidemic

A number of Cork county councillors have urged their officials to close down beaches, parks and amenity walks in an effort to stop the spread of Covid-19.

It comes as Wicklow County Council closed all of its playgrounds, the Cliff Walk between Bray and Greystones and the public toilets at Bray seafront over social distancing concerns.
