Work to begin on N62 in Roscrea

Work is to start in the coming months on a long awaited project in Roscrea.

A section of the N62 approaching the town from Templemore has been a bone of contention for local residents and road users for some time.

This weeks meeting of Tipperary County Council heard that Transport Infrastructure Ireland has indicated that funding is available for the scheme.

Local Fianna Fáil Councillor Michael Smith has praised the efforts of Council staff in getting the project over the line.
