Paschal Donohoe: FG would 'argue very firmly' in favour of Cork-Limerick motorway project

Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure & Reform, Paschal Donohoe

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has said that Fine Gael would “argue very firmly” in favour of the Cork-Limerick motorway project while the Green Party’s deputy leader Catherine Martin said that if commitments and investment had already been made then such projects would be likely to go ahead.

Their comments come after Green Party TD Ossian Smyth had suggested in a tweet on Thursday that the long-awaited construction of the Cork-Limerick would not happen during the lifetime of the next government.
