Roads will get even worse if funding isn’t increased

OVER the past month or so, roads and water services all over Cork county have experienced widespread damage as a result of the appalling weather conditions.

This has led to many people suffering severe hardship and disruption to their daily lives – they were left without running water in their homes and their local roads were ripped up by the heavy rain, snow and ice.

In response to this crisis, an emergency repairs work programme fund of €6m has been put in place by Cork County Council to carry out emergency repairs to roads and water supplies in the county.
