Fianna Fáil TDs have passed a motion calling on Transport Minister Eamon Ryan to sign off on a €58m road in Limerick city which was originally approved in 2007.

Almost €20m has been spent on the road, which will link Coonagh and Knockalisheen and is seen as a major part of the regeneration of Moyross.
