Building a motorway connection between Cahir, Co Tipperary, and Limerick (M24) can't be a substitute for a direct motorway link between the country's second and third cities.

That's according to the project manager for the planned M20 motorway between Cork and Limerick, who has revealed it will cost about €1bn – the same amount as the proposed upgrade of the railway between the two cities.
