Cork City Council’s facing a staggering $2 million liability bill from public injuries—mostly tripping accidents on footpaths. Over 1.3 million dollars paid to 52 people on South Mall alone, averaging $26K per claim. Slippery tiles, uneven surfaces, and missing slabs are turning sidewalks into danger zones, especially for older or mobility-impaired folks. Reports from Meelick Park and Model Farm Road show similar hazards across the city. It’s a wake-up call: neglecting public space maintenance isn’t just costly—it’s dangerous.
