Outrage as Cappoquin playground vandalised again

Outrage as Cappoquin playground vandalised again

Parents in Cappoquin were unable to let their children use the local playground over the weekend because of criminal damage.

Last Saturday night, one of the play facilities was smashed into pieces in an attack.

The playground was locked for several days as council staff carried out a clean up operation.

A young teenage boy has since been arrested and charged.

Dungarvan Gardaí say a file is now being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

"Cappoquin playground was already in need of some TLC and maybe upgrading but when you see the likes of this behavior, it doesn't help the situation," Councillor John Pratt told WLR.

Councillor Pratt says this is not the first time the playground has been targeted and questioned whether CCTV could be put in place.
