Ryan accused of giving 'two fingers' to Cork over failure to hold meeting

Councillors were so frustrated by Eamon Ryan's response that they have now demanded meetings with the Taoiseach.
Transport Minister Eamon Ryan has been branded "a disgrace" by furious members of Cork County Council after they were told the minister's "diary is too full" to meet with councillors to discuss decisions made on road redevelopments in the area.
Specifically, councillors are demanding answers over the development of the northern relief road in Mallow, but an email from Mr Ryan's office said a meeting could not be facilitated "due to the minister's current diary schedule".
