Talks to take place to speed up Little Island roadworks

Talks are taking place between Cork County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in an effort speed up roadworks in one of the country's industrial hubs, after claims they're causing major traffic gridlock.

Standing orders were suspended at a council meeting in County Hall after councillors said something had to be done about the roadworks at Little Island. They involve adding an extra lane on an overbridge which is the main entrance into and out of the area.
