Calls are growing for one of Cork's best-loved public amenities to be lit in the winter evenings to allow families, cyclists, and essential frontline workers to maximise their exercise times during the Covid-19 pandemic's next phase.

Pedestrianising the Marina near Páirc Uí Chaoimh earlier this year proved to be one of the most successful moves by Cork City Council during the early months of the pandemic, allowing a new lease of life for families and exercise enthusiasts.
