An East Clare councillor has defended his proposal for improvement works to be carried out on a prominent road in East Clare.
At the most recent meeting of the region’s local representatives, Maghera Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Hayes called for a plan to be devised for the removal of bends and the upgrading of junctions on the Tulla to Tuamgraney section of the R352.
Despite broad support for the motion, Whitegate Fine Gael Councillor Pat Burke refused to lend his voice to it – claiming the proposal should have encompassed the entirety of the road which stretches from Ennis to Portumna.
Councillor Hayes however insists it’s important to be realistic about what improvements can be made in the near future.
