There are hopes in Tipperary that there will be provisions made in the budget for extra funding for the county’s roads.

Following a bad winter last year, much of Tipperary’s road network was left in poor condition.

The funding allocated to the local authority for 2018 has been already spent – and promises had been made that should the funding be used, more would come on stream.

The council have made a number of submissions to obtain extra funding to enhance the Premier’s roads.

Council CEO Joe MacGrath says he’s discussed the issue with Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe.
