‘Full steam ahead’ with the M20 motorway
AN assurance that the M20 motorway between Cork and Limerick will be developed in a timely fashion was sought from the Taoiseach by Cork East Labour Deputy Séan Sherlock.
“In the interests of ensuring proper regional development, I ask him to give a concrete commitment that the M20 project will not be put on the back burner and that other projects relating to it, including bypassing towns such as Mallow, will not be forgotten,” he said.
“I seek assurances from the Taoiseach on this matter.”
In response, the Taoiseach said he could absolutely give the Deputy a commitment that it is “full steam ahead” with the Atlantic economic corridor and improving our road infrastructure between Cork, Limerick, Shannon, Galway and on to Sligo.
“Much of the work has already been done, as the Deputy knows, including the Gort to Tuam section and south, beyond Limerick,” he said.
