The Cabinet is expected to approve within days the awarding of a contract for the multi-million overhaul of the Dunkettle interchange in Cork.

It follows a more than year-long delay on the awarding of the main building contract after contractors Sisk and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) failed to agree a price on the key works element of a road scheme which has been estimated by some to cost anything from €115m and €170m.
