Superloos in Cork operating at a loss
It costs Cork County Council €12 a flush.
In a mathematical riddle - it's emerged that it costs Cork County Council €12 to spend a penny...
The public pays 50 cent a time to use any one of the Council's 9 superloos which cost €250,000 a year to lease and maintain
The Council's income from the automated toilets is €10,000 per annum meaning the toilets have been flushed 20,000 times at a cost to the Council of €12 per flush.
The local authority revealed the high cost of running the automated loos amid calls for more facilities to be put in place in towns across Cork..
The Evening Echo's Ronan Bagnall who uncovered the story told the Neil Prendeville Show that the toilets are running at a loss of €240,000 a year
