Motorists are going to be killed on two national secondary roads in North Cork because of their seriously deteriorating surfaces, county councillors have warned.

Members of the council's northern division are seeking an urgent meeting with Transport Minister Eamon Ryan about the state of the N72 (Mallow-Fermoy) and N73 (Mallow-Mitchelstown) because TII (Transport Infrastructure Ireland) funding for proposed upgrades hasn't been forthcoming.
