Village pays price as NRA admits not enough drivers using €300m toll road

THE National Roads Authority (NRA) has admitted that not enough motorists are using the €300 million Fermoy bypass, but maintains that this will change.

Angry residents in Watergrasshill have rejected this forecast, however, and the NRA has run into another problem over speed limits.

After the bypass was opened, the NRA changed the speed limit on the old N8 between Watergrasshill and Fermoy from 100km/h to 80km/h.
