Repairs are finally set to get underway on a badly damaged section of a historic quay wall in Cork's city centre.

More than a year after the collapse, Cork City Council has confirmed that it has agreed, with the landowner involved, on a schedule of repairs to the damaged quay wall close to the historic South Gate Bridge on the southern channel of the river Lee.
