A Cork primary school is experiencing difficulty finding someone to become their new lollipop person after the last one retired - partly due to "abuse from angry motorists."
For the past three months, over 245 children in Castlemartyr have had no crossing guard at the junction where the N25 Cork to Rosslare and the road to Garryvoe intersect, to get to Castlemartyr N.S.
From 7 am onwards, heavy traffic floods the village as busy commuters rush to get to the city. And this junction is one of the busiest in East Cork.
