Anger over funding cut for road network

CORK motorists are subsidising drivers in the greater Dublin area and – to add insult to injury – they’ll have to endure even more potholed roads in the future, a council debate in Cork heard yesterday.

Last year motorists in Cork city and county forked out more than €77 million in road tax but not a cent of that money stayed in Cork.

Instead it was gobbled up by central government.
