Violet-Anne Wynne (IND), Clare

I wish to raise issue of the frustrations of the many folk in County Clare who are living in rural communities, such as the beautiful area of Kilmurry McMahon. The issue is that the roads there are like dartboards. They are unsafe and they are damaging people's cars. This is greatly problematic for those living in rural Ireland who depend on their cars. The costs involved in maintaining a car are already very significant and this situation is not acceptable. The Government has allocated the same amount of funding for restoration, maintenance, repairs and resurfacing this year as it did last year. That ultimately means Clare County Council will experience a reduction in resurfacing of 25% to 33%. Some of these roads have not been repaired for more than ten years and they are beyond dangerous. What do I tell these people?
