"Making the roads safer for people — it’s hard work, but it's fulfilling"

Killavullen-based Noel Larkin may be retired from his Cork County Council job as a driver at the Machinery Yard in Mallow but he is still farming, something that he always fitted in with his job. But he chose to keep working with the council until the age of seventy when he had to retire recently.
Prior to working with the council, Larkin worked for a haulage company for nearly ten years, doing a lot of long-distance driving. He has a licence to drive every kind of vehicle.
