Town by-passes more urgent than link road

IT’S been reported that upwards of €100 million is about to be spent on a dual carriageway connecting the N20 with the N8, north of Cork city.

While I have no objection to the roads authority putting it on the county development plan for some time in the future, this money would be much better spent building by-passes at Charleville and Buttevant at a fraction of the cost.

Fortunately, both towns have undeveloped land adjacent to cut the cost and the length of such bypasses.
