Drish Bridge road safety
Deputy Jackie Cahill welcomed URDF funding for Tipperary and asked for safety measures at the dangerous N75 junction at Drish Bridge. The Tánaiste said he would make the Minister for Transport aware and look at the issue.
As Teachta Dála for Tipperary I welcome the €31 million we got this morning from the urban regeneration and development fund, URDF. The people of Cahir, Carrick-on-Suir and Roscrea are absolutely delighted. I thank the Government for delivering that for us.
The N75 is the main artery from Thurles to the motorway. The junction at Drish Bridge has, unfortunately, seen a number of fatalities over the years. This junction needs work from Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII. Will the Tánaiste urge the relevant authorities to look at the junction and introduce safety measures there?
