The Pembroke council has been ordered to pay €550 in damages after a pothole on one of its roads caused significant damage to a vehicle. The ruling follows a claim filed by the car’s owner, who argued that the council’s failure to maintain the road properly led to the damage. The court agreed, determining that the council was liable for the costs associated with repairing the vehicle.
This case highlights the importance of regular road maintenance and the potential financial consequences for local authorities that fail to address infrastructure issues. The payout serves as a reminder for councils to prioritize road upkeep to avoid similar incidents in the future.
