Transport Minister Says Dept Will Re-examine Funding For Henchy's Cross
The Minister for Transport says his Department will re-examine the possibility of providing multi-million euro funding for works one one of the main routes into East Clare. Short-term visibility works at Henchy's Cross are expected to be concluded later this year, though a larger scale two million euro application from Clare County Council was rejected by the Department of Transport. A man in his 50s passed away following a crash in the area near Clooney last week. Minister Eamon Ryan says funding to enhance road safety is a priority, and the area will be looked at again.
