Ukrainians based in East Cork are facing road safety issues in an isolated area, councillors have warned.

Green councillor Liam Quaide and Fine Gael councillor Michael Hegarty told a meeting of the East Cork Municipal District Council they're concerned about Ukrainians living at Trabolgan because the bus service is inadequate and, as they don’t have their own transport, they are forced to walk alongside a very dangerous road.
