Just 3 of 60 accident blackspots upgraded

Only three of the country’s worst accident blackspots have been upgraded — a year after plans to fix the 60 deadliest road bends were trumpeted.

While work has begun on another 28 hazardous corners, a huge question mark now hangs over the remaining 29 projects.

In Jan 2012, Transport Minister Leo Varadkar announced he was handing over €100m to overhaul half of the 60 identified blackspots.
