Over 1 million has been secured for the upgrade of rural roads in the Shannonside region.
Minister Heather Humphreys announced a total funding of €12.5 million nationwide to improve road access to homes, farms and outdoor amenities.
The Local Improvement Scheme funding will support the upgrade of nonpublic roads that are not usually maintained by the local municipality.
