Confusion over plan to upgrade major road

A MAJOR inter-city road upgrade has been caught up in a web of bureaucratic confusion.

The National Roads Authority (NRA), in conjunction with local authorities, had planned to develop the N20 between Limerick and Cork to motorway standard.

The NRA, however, said the project is being deferred due to lack of money. But the lead local authority, Cork Co Council, insists the scheme is still on track.
