'Totally unsuitable': Councillors hit out as toilets planned for Kinsale 'too small'

Marie O’Sullivan said on one day recently six tour buses, carrying around 50 passengers each arrived almost simultaneously in the town. She said a lot were 'advanced in age' and the first thing they started looking for were 'bathrooms'

Local councillors in Kinsale say the planned public toilets for the town are not suitable given the high number of visitors to the area. PFile picture Denis Minihane.

Cork County Council will have to go back to the drawing board on its planned new public toilets in Kinsale because they are too small to cater for locals and the large number of tourists who visit the town during the summer.

That’s the opinion of councillors who debated the matter at a meeting of the Bandon/Kinsale Municipal District Council.
