Episode Synopsis

The latest Transport Sectoral Implementation Report under the National Development Plan (NDP) has been published, but there’s next to nothing of Clare interest in it.

The report outlines the national road projects expected to advance before 2030.

While several counties across Ireland have multiple strategic schemes progressing, Clare is almost entirely absent.

West Clare does not feature at all, nor the works required in Ballycar, Newmarket-on-Fergus, to alleviate flooding, or the reopening of Crusheen Railway Station.

Is Clare being sidelined or ignored?

Alan Morrissey was joined by Newmarket on Fergus Fianna Fáil Councillor, David Griffin and Crusheen Resident, Michael O'Doherty for their views on this.
