Fianna Fáil and their Green coalition partners are on a pre-election collision course over roads funding.

If follows confirmation from Tánaiste and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin that he favours multi-annual funding for the State’s road-building agency, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), something the Green Party Transport Minister Eamon Ryan has ruled out despite warnings that several major road projects are at risk because of the current funding model.
