Hoarding was erected on Penrose Quay to cover steel girders which were erected a few years after the Cork Main Drainage Scheme was completed in 2004. It is still in place.

A councillor has slammed chronic delays in resolving a relic of the Cork main drainage scheme, which has left ugly hoarding on a historic city quay for more than a decade.

Independent councillor Kieran McCarthy said the engineering problems blighting the Penrose Quay streetscape must be addressed once and for all.
