No funding for M20 road projects, says Varadkar

A Co Cork town which desperately needs a northern ring road will have to wait after the Government said funding was not available for the project.

A delegation led by Cork County Council officials and Mallow-based TDs Tom Barry and Sean Sherlock recently met with Transport Minister Leo Varadkar to plead with him to fund some vital road projects in North Cork.

Mr Varadkar had earlier signalled that no funding would be available in the near future for the proposed €800m M20 Cork-Limerick motorway.
