An estimated €15.6 million will be needed to repair damaged roads after Storm Chandra.
Elected members of Wicklow County Council, one of the worst affected areas, have called on the Department of Transport, Taoiseach and Tanaiste to provide extra emergency funding to aid this.
The “extraordinary scale of destruction” caused far exceeds the road maintenance budget for the council.
Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss this is Tom Fortune, Wicklow County Councillor representing Greystones electoral district, Ciaran Feghan, Managing director of PMS Pavement Management Services engineering consultancy, Louis O’Hara, Sinn Fein TD for Galway East and listeners.
