Episode Details

West Cork is buckling under chronic underinvestment—policing, healthcare, and roads are all crumbling. Just four of 206 new Garda recruits went to County Cork, none to West Cork. A vital 20-year counselling service lost its funding, leaving 77 people stranded with waits over a year. The N71, labeled a national route, is a potholed hazard that cripples local businesses.

Meanwhile, new rules like €1,000 fines for disposable barbecues ring hollow without enforcement, punishing the law-abiding while ignoring the real offenders.
