Exposed earth beside the approach, drainage and the protection questions. Read the dated family photographs alongside the council’s descriptions of works—and the records needed to establish what was done and when.

The engineering record and the council’s response
Significant damage was recorded before Bronagh died. Follow the inspection entries, the later internal-review response and the questions about decisions, interim protection and repairs.

The 80-to-60 motion: what the council requested
Read the motion seeking selective application, its recorded support, the subsequent legal-advice referral and the national change that still took effect. This was not a vote that stopped the 80-to-60 reduction.
Who raised the bridge concerns, what was requested, and how did the council respond? Follow the dated Cahir–Cashel record, linked documents and outstanding questions.
