Recent weather conditions, incessant heavy rainfall, saturated ground conditions and what Cllr Sarah O Reilly would call is criminal underfunding has had a brutal effect on our road network
She says The culmination 16 years of underfunding since 2008 from central government for our regional and local road network - absorbing a €95million shortfall in that time - have finally caught up with us. 95% of County Cavan Road infrastructure is local and regional roads. As a result County Cavan has a higher level of dependence on these networks than other counties. She says over €18.1M which was allocated to Cavan County Council for improving and maintaining roads across the county isn't good enough.
