Lobby group: current proposals for Cork to Limerick motorway are too expensive
The Cork-Limerick Alliance Group believes there are ways to link the two cities as well as Waterford at a third of the cost.
The M20 has been a long-discussed proposal and plans were shelved for the best part of a decade with the cost estimated to be more than 2 billion euro.
Brian Hyde, chair of the Cork-Limerick Alliance Group, believes upgrading the N24 between Limerick and Waterford would be a better solution:
"You'd have [the] Limerick [road] as far as Cahir, and that would then connect onto the M8 to cork. And then if you wanted to go to Waterford then you'll continue on the N24 corridor- upgrade that to motorway status- to Waterford. So you'd have a direct link then between the three cities using one motorway."
