Cork Council Pays Millions in Pothole Claims | Cork News

Published 2 weeks ago
Description

Cork County Council is paying out a staggering €3.1 million in public liability claims over the past year—averaging over €5,000 per claim—with potholes causing 86% of the damage. Insurers like IPB are handling the payouts, but the burden falls on the council. The Kanturk-Mallow and West Cork areas are hit hardest, with drivers and cyclists reporting terrifying accidents, wrecked cars, and roads “like driving on the moon.” Many say they’ve reported hazards repeatedly with no action—and now they’re getting bills. It’s not just a nuisance—it’s a dangerous, costly crisis for residents.
