Popular Cork beaches may be left without toilets and bins this summer

The issue could affect areas like Roberts Cove, Nohoval Cove, Rocky Bay, Fountainstown, Myrtleville, Church Bay and Crosshaven village

Temporary toilets and bins may not be available at a number of popular beaches in South Cork this summer because the cash-strapped local municipal district council has no money for them.

Last year, as the Covid-19 restrictions eased, the county council was able to bring in portaloos and bins because it got government grant-aid for such facilities. However, that financial support has come to an end since all restrictions were eased.
