A €407,000 Lego-style footpath extension in Cork City should be disability proofed to make it work better for everyone.

That is the call from the mobility campaign group, Pedestrian Cork, after figures released under Freedom of Information revealed the scale of public investment on MacCurtain St during the pandemic.
