'Game of Thrones'-inspired tree-lined avenue in Cork 'would honour Covid-19 victims'

City officials described the proposal as 'commendable' and said it would be welcomed by many relatives of deceased loved ones

Dark Hedges in Co Antrim, a location made famous by 'Game of Thrones'. Cork officials are to consider a proposal for a similar tree-lined avenue to honour all who died during the Covid-19 pandemic.

City officials have agreed to explore proposals for a Game of Thrones-inspired tree-lined avenue in Cork to honour all who died during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fine Gael councillor Deirdre Forde said she hoped her idea – modelled on the iconic dark hedges which feature in HBO's popular TV series Game of Thrones – would remember not just those who died with Covid-19 but all who have died here since last March.
