Officials to lobby for motorway and flood relief funds

LOBBYING is to intensify to ensure two major projects, including the proposed €800 million motorway connecting Cork and Limerick, get a kickstart as soon as possible.

County councillors in north Cork are to lobby ministers to fast-track money for the motorway and for the second phase of the Fermoy Flood Relief Scheme.

Funding wasn’t made available to the NRA for the motorway under the last Government’s 2010-2013 road plan.
