No amount of extra road workers will fix a major proliferation of potholes in Co. Cork because inadequate government funding and climate change are causing the problem.

That’s according to two senior county council officials who have said rainfall in the last three months in the county is 60% of the overall yearly total and this has had a major impact on the state of roads, especially in recent weeks.
