Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Network: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (24 Jan 2018)

Kevin O'Keeffe: In Fermoy, the N73, from the town park boundary to the Church of Ireland has been cordoned off for safety reasons. I was led to believe 12 months ago that Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, would provide funding for the necessary works in that area.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Network: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (24 Jan 2018)

Kevin O'Keeffe: I am not asking for the tolls to be abolished but for a study to be done to show that the users who pay tolls are saving money. There might not be direct savings but I want the indirect savings in terms of time, wear and tear and so on to be highlighted.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Network: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (24 Jan 2018)

Kevin O'Keeffe: I appreciate that but that is not currently being acknowledged by some road users. Putting in a couple of hard speed ramps in Fermoy may be of assistance. I was last week contacted by hauliers who claimed that the axles of their lorries are being destroyed by ramps but that has not stopped them and they are still going through the town of Fermoy.
