East Clare Roads "Deteriorating" Says Feakle Councillor
The issue of dangerous bends on East Clare roads has been identified as a pressing concern by a Feakle councillor. Pat Hayes of Fianna Fáil has said that there is a safety concern on minor roads in the region and that the prevalence of sharp bends on roads could impact the safety of locals as well as the attractiveness of East Clare as a tourist destination. The Killaloe Municipal District Technical Team has said that it is committed to "developing a phased plan for strategic road upgrades" but its current plans do not include areas for road widening. Councillor Hayes says regional roads have not received adequate investment in recent years and that road upgrades in East Clare need to be prioritised.
