NRA officials vow to lobby for regional road improvements

Senior NRA officials have pledged to lobby for major improvements on the only national route in the tourist haven of West Cork.

County councillors in Cork claim the road was of such poor quality, it was holding back the economic development of the region.

Tony Mullane, a senior official with the NRA, based in Cork, heard Cllr Donal O’Rourke (FF) demand, in particular, a major realignment of the N71 between Bandon and Clonakilty.
