Some roads in East Cork damaged during Storm Babet more than two years ago have still not reopened, with council estimates of up to €1bn to bring the county's 12,000km network up to a good standard.

The Mayor of County Cork described as “disgraceful” the lack of funding for road maintenance compared to other counties.
