Government's €44m allocation for Cork roads not enough, says Mayor

The Government’s allocation of €44m for the maintenance of regional and local roads in Co Cork “falls short” of what is needed to properly address the dire condition of many of them.

That’s according to the Mayor of County Cork, Cllr Declan Hurley, who said while he welcomed the announcement by Transport Minister Shane Ross, it was not sufficient.

The county council, which oversees more than 12,600km of roads, got slightly more than one 10th of the national allocation of €417m.
