Making a pitch for Cobh roadworks

Now that it has been confirmed that Fota Island will once more host the Irish Open golf tournament this year, can we expect this time that Cork County Council wont stop at the gates of Fota Hotel with its preparatory road resurfacing works, but will at least carry on and finish the rest of the Fota Road to Cobh and the Great Island.

I note that during its recent announcement, Cork City and County Councils both said they are backing the bid to bring the Irish Open to Fota because they wanted to attract business and money to the local economy.

Surely this is now a great opportunity for both councils to help and support the communities living on the Great Island of Cobh by helping to lift the albatross that is the substandard and hazardous Fota Road (R624) from around the necks of its people.
