Council to make hill safe for pedestrians

I WISH to respond to the issues raised by Olive O’Sullivan (Irish Examiner letters, January 5).

She referred to the absence of a footpath on Maryborough Hill, Douglas, in Cork, thereby endangering the lives of pedestrians on the hill, in particular schoolchildren.

Ms O’Sullivan expressed concern that neither the members of Cork County Council nor the ‘powers that be’ were doing anything to address the matter and that previous promises had “vanished into thin air”.
