Rats the 'size of cats' spotted with small kids in playground in Cobh, Co Cork live_cork cormacoshea95
'Rats the size of cats' were spotted by a parent with small kids near a Cork playground at the weekend.
Lizzy Coughlan told the Irish Mirror: "I left with the kids, there is rowing boats beside the playground and I saw them there."They were also beside and running around the big bins where you empty your cans and bottles."At the end off the day it's bad as the people off Cobh fundraised for that new park and to say now that you can't bring your own kids out there is horrible.
"There was a bit of illegal dumping up behind the recycling centre and that has led to rats coming down from the rail line. A spokesperson for the Cobh Playground Fundraising group who worked tirelessly to get the new facility said that rats are not a common problem there.
