Villagers in East Cork are hoping it will soon be third time lucky in their search for a school traffic warden after concerns around road safety and verbal abuse hampered the recruitment search.

Castlemartyr has been attempting to get a replacement traffic warden since the village's last one retired in late 2022. The village has just one set of traffic lights, at a junction described locally as “lethal”.
