In proposing that the Council approve the upgrades, Councillor TP O’Reilly said the road sees more heavy goods traffic than the N3, with it being used by lorries travelling from Ballyjamesduff and Granard.

 

The Council chamber also heard that a former councillor in the area described the bridge as the worst stretch of road between Ballyjamesduff and Moscow.
