No commitment to Cork-Limerick M20

The Government has made no commitment to developing the M20, which would connect Limerick and Cork city.

Under Budget 2018, €434m has been allocated to the national road network, but yesterday Transport Minister Shane Ross said only a fraction of this would go toward the M20.

“The M20 as you know is an absolutely massive project, it’s to cost about €860m and obviously there is an intention that it should go ahead, that there should certainly be a link between the second and third largest cities,” said Mr Ross.
