Fears of ‘disastrous’ delay to €100m Dunkettle interchange upgrade

Any delays to the €100m upgrade of the Dunkettle interchange will have “disastrous consequences” for Cork’s growth and have knock-on effects for key infrastructural and housing projects.

Property developer Michael O’Flynn and the Cork Chamber of Commerce issued the warning as Taoiseach Leo Varadkar insisted the project will not be scrapped — despite documents seen by the Irish Examiner which warn that the contractor may have to be let go if agreement on a new pricing structure cannot be agreed.
