Cork County Council to apply for funds for Carrigaline relief road

An application is to be prepared by Cork County Council for a special government infrastructure grant which could dramatically ease traffic jams in one of the country’s largest commuter towns.

The council is to prepare a submission under the local infrastructural fund, administered by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, for grant aid to build the western relief road in Carrigaline.

Council chief executive Tim Lucey agreed to the move after councillors in the Bandon/Kinsale municipal district highlighted it.
