Jackie Cahill (FF), Tipperary

I raise a road safety issue. The timing of cutting and trimming at junctions and around road signs is happening later each year. It is almost July. The majority of junctions in my county, Tipperary, have not been maintained. Visibility at those junctions is greatly reduced. In rural areas in particular, road signs coming up to junctions are completely obscured because of plant growth. I understand biodiversity and the benefits it offers, but road safety must be paramount. I urge that next year, county councils start trimming and maintaining junctions and road signs and cutting back growth earlier than this year.
