CITY councillors have called for public toilets to be installed, even on a temporary basis, at amenities across Cork including the Marina.
Cork City Council meetings have seen debates surrounding the provision of public toilets in recent weeks.
Local Councillor Fiona Kerins (SF) tabled a motion seeking to provide toilets, even on a temporary basis, at amenities across the city including the Marina and the Lough.

With restrictions allowing travel countywide, more people are expected to use amenities and Cllr Kerins highlighted the importance of having facilities available, even on a temporary basis.
