Funding for safety works at a dangerous crossroads in Carrigaline as well as works on major roads in Cork are expected to be announced by Government on Tuesday.

Transport Minister Darragh O'Brien and junior transport ministers Jerry Buttimer and Sean Canney will announce the 2026 Roads Funding Allocation, with sources saying Cork "got a fair amount" in its allotment.
