Councillors have hit out at the lack of recreation and amenity spaces in Cork's largest town as "absolutely criminal".

The criticism of the paucity of facilities in Carrigaline came to light after it emerged that a site identified in the Cork County Development Plan for a new town park and pitches is actually in private ownership and cannot be acquired.
