The clearing of vegetation growing alongside the N22 in Curraheen has been described by a leading Cork environmentalist as “an act of serious environmental destruction”.

Read excerpt
A sewage plant key to the opening of a Co Cork special school is “biologically and hydraulically overloaded”, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has said. The North Cork Community Special School had been due to open in Carrignavar on August 27, but the Department of Education declined three times this week to confirm that it will now open on that date. Construction work on the new school premises, a refurbished former primary school, is complete, but concerns have been voiced about possib
