Village braces itself for toll-dodgers’ invasion

WELL done to Cork County Council for shirking all responsibility for the soon-to-be defunct bypass of Watergrasshill village, north of Cork city.

It appears the NRA will be to blame for the increased traffic flow through the village from early October when the Fermoy/Rathcormac bypass opens.

Any drivers who had assumed the new layout would allow those wishing to travel to or from Fermoy to bypass Watergrasshill — as is the current situation — should note they will now need to drive through the village if they want to avoid paying the toll.
