Scrap Limerick-Cork motorway, says expert

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar yesterday confirmed the long-awaited motorway will be included in the national framework plan when it is published on Friday, despite report expert Edgar Morgenroth saying it makes “no economic sense” to do so.
ESRI researcher Mr Morgenroth — whose work has formed the basis of the Government’s national framework plan on how to help spread economic growth over the next two decades — said that while projects such as the Cork-Limerick motorway are wanted, they carry serious drawbacks.
