Major Cork road projects face delays over 'funding constraints', transport body warns

Cork to Limerick motorway and the Cork to Ringaskiddy project could be hit with delays over funding uncertainty, Transport Infrastructure Ireland said

The M20 Cork to Limerick motorway could be delayed because of funding allocation.

Some of the country’s biggest road projects could be delayed because of funding uncertainty over the coming years, the head of the State’s roads building agency has warned.

The ambitious M20 Cork to Limerick transport project — the country’s first multi-modal transport scheme and the largest single active travel project proposed in Ireland — and the M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy motorway are among the schemes which could be hit with delays because of how funding is allocated annually to Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), its chief executive warned.
