Fine Gael TDs have joined with Fianna Fáil colleagues in demanding Green Party leader Eamon Ryan reverse his “illogical” decision to axe a major Limerick road project.

During sharp exchanges in the Dáil, the TDs called on Mr Ryan to abandon his “solo run” and reinstate the road project, which has been in development for 20 years.
