Plans to improve dangerous stretches of north Cork roads mothballed

Transport Infrastructure Ireland wouldn't  commit to the projects on the N72  and N73 “due to funding uncertainty”

Plans for safety works on two dangerous stretches on national secondary roads in north Cork have been mothballed because Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has said it hasn't got the money to fund the projects.

The news is likely to incite hauliers, who previously carried out protests on one of the stretches of roads over safety concerns and damage being done to their trucks.
