Cork-Mallow road improvements
Cronin asked whether special funding would help improve the winding road, which was said to deter industry. Tully said no specific proposals had been submitted; any future request would be considered alongside funding and other road priorities.
asked the Minister for Local Government if, in view of the notoriously winding Cork-Mallow road and of public statements by IDA officers that the existing road is seriously inhibiting the attraction of industries to Mallow town and district, he proposes to make special funds available from his Department to assist Cork County Council's efforts to improve the road.
Comment on this
I understand that Cork County Council are engaged in planning the major improvement of this route but no specific proposals have been put to me. If and when they are, they will be considered, having regard to all relevant factors, including the availability of funds and the need for the improvement of other routes.
