Cork City Council aims to secure €20m loan for footpath repairs

A list of priority locations is being prepared

Cork City Council is set to apply for a €20m loan facility to fund a massive programme of footpath repairs.

If it is approved, the council will then draw down an initial tranche of €4m to give city councillors on each of the city’s five local area committees (LAC) an €800,000 war-chest for footpath repairs in their area.
