Filthy, often illegible roads signs throughout Co Cork are confusing tourists and potentially creating danger. Many have been defaced with anti-Covid -19 lockdown graffiti and more are completely hidden behind overgrown foliage.

County councillors have urged their officials to set aside a specific budget for cleaning road signs each year, although many have acknowledged they don’t have the manpower to do much of the work required.
