10th February 2021 - Kieran O'Donnell, TD

Confirmation that the final phase of construction of the €58m Coonagh to Knockalisheen Road will go ahead without delay is welcome news for Moyross and Limerick City, a Fine Gael TD has said.

Limerick City TD Kieran O’Donnell, chair of the Oireachtas Transport Committee, said, “I welcome news from Transport Minister Eamon Ryan this morning that the final phase of the Coonagh to Knockalisheen Road is going ahead as planned.

“I am glad that common sense has prevailed here and it means we can get JCBs on site as quickly as possible now that the awarding of the road construction contract is signed off by Minister Ryan.

“This road development will improve connectivity into Moyross, as well as providing enhanced public transport, and facilitating significant investment into the area.

“It is a hugely positive day for the people of Limerick City overall,” Deputy O’Donnell concluded.
