COUNCIL CRITICISED FOR CONTINUING TO KEEP TOILETS AT CITY BEACHES CLOSED

Date Published: 19-Apr-2010

A City Councillor is slamming the council for its failure to respond to representations on the lack of toilet facilities at city amenities over the weekend.

Councillor Padraig Conneely says toilet facilities at Silverstrand were again closed to the public over the weekend despite the increased demand sparked by the fine weather.

Councillor Terry O’ Flaherty says the same situation occurred at Ballyloughane in the city.

The city council says the closures are due to staffing problems and the ban on overtime which has been implemented across the public sector.
