Six new pieces of machinery have been added to the fleet.

Cork County Council has welcomed the latest addition to the machinery fleet of six state of the art salt spreaders.

The new machines are set to bolster the Council's road maintenance during adverse weather conditions.

Four of the new salt spreaders were funded by Transport Infrastructure Ireland and two by the local authority.

They will replace the oldest existing machines with three in the machinery yard in Mallow, and one each in Ballincollig, Glanmire and Skibbereen.

The vehicles will help maintain specified national roads across County Cork in response to winter weather challenges.
