Great to work with Fiona Corcoran, Senior Reporter with 96FM on the dismantling of the Shaky Bridge and its renewal, which began this morning, https://www.facebook.com/194278177271109/posts/2726075840757984?sfns=mo
“Historian and Cllr Kieran McCarthy, who called repeatedly in recent years for the bridge to be restored, said the work really needed to be done. Cork has over 31 bridges, but this is the one held in most affection”.
