Cork council to reopen all Civic Amenity Sites despite Covid-19 spread

Council chief executive Tim Lucey

Cork County Council has backtracked somewhat on a decision to close all its Civic Amenity Sites (CAS) to the public after a number of councillors said this would have a huge impact on people who would otherwise be unable to dispose of food and other perishable waste.

The local authority decided to close the sites after studying new public health measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19, which were issued last Friday.
