A number of communities along the main Cork-Limerick road are “seriously considering” blocking the N20 in protest at Transport Infrastructure Ireland's (TII) refusals to do anything about several dangerous junctions. Councillors have expressed anger after TII initially agreed to meet them on the issues but later withdrew the invitation. The junctions are a constant risk to local communities. “There are local roads in better condition than national secondary roads,” he said. I will be telling communities absolutely nothing is being done [by TII] and they’re not going to stand for it much longer."
