The terrifying blaze that engulfed parts of West Cork's landscape last week failed to deter others from setting the landscape alight, with reports of more fires up to midweek, causing huge anger in the region.

Some outdoor workers, such as those in construction, were told it was too unsafe to go onsite in the aftermath of the fires, losing out on a day's pay on Monday after firefighters spent all night putting out blazes that threatened to veer out of control.
