“Maintaining our local roads is not just vital for good connectivity, it is also important for continuing and improved road safety for all road users.
“This year the Government will spend over €26 million more than last year on our local and regional roads and I was delighted to receive confirmation that county Carlow will receive an increase of over €2.4m on last year's allocation. This is something I raised with the Minister for Transport on numerous occasions and I'm thrilled that an increase in funding has been secured for the county.
