A roller skate group's dream of an indoor arena has been dashed by insurers’ refusals to cover them, with one quote coming in at €8,000.

East Cork Rollers, who already meet on Wednesdays at Horgan’s Quay, Cork, said it was instead expanding its activities outdoors and wants enthusiasts to join them at the farmers’ market area of Midleton’s Market Green for Friday night skate nights.
