Shane Ross urged to go to Kerry and fix ‘dangerous’ roads

Transport Minister Shane Ross has been told to ignore the Government’s “all singing, all dancing” launch of the National Planning Framework and instead travel to Kerry to fix “dangerous” rural roads.

Fianna Fáil TD for Kerry John Brassil issued the demand last night during his party’s Dáil motion to ensure significant rural road investment takes place.

The motion calls for the Government to drastically increase investment in rural roads, to ensure widespread repair work takes place, and to provide a quarterly update to the Oireachtas on progress.
