City officials have moved to explain a large tree-felling operation which prompted a roadside sign protest in Cork city.

They said "appropriate replanting" will occur along the road near the Angler’s Rest pub in Carrigrohane where local resident Deborah O’Connell installed six signs last week criticising the city council for the scale of the work and for doing it without consultation.
