Jackie Cahill (Tipperary, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I want to raise some serious road safety concerns that I have in relation to the R489. That is the main road linking Portumna and Birr and it is at the very end of my constituency and my county. Because of its geographic location, the road does not get the resources that it deserves. For 1 km from the Ferry Inn in Portumna and Lorrha the road gets extremely narrow and trucks have to stop to pass. There is a blind bend there which is extremely dangerous. I would like for Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, and Tipperary County Council to work together to put the necessary resources in place to alleviate this serious safety concern. Residents in the area are willing to give their property to facilitate this progress.
