A woman left furious over “brutal” tree felling has erected signs slating a local authority for the work.

In scenes reminiscent of the Oscar-winning, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Deborah O’Connell, has erected six signs along the cleared ditch between the Angler’s Rest pub car park and Leemount Cross on the western outskirts of Cork city, criticising Cork City Council for the work.
