The Director of Services for Roads Marcus O'Connor has said the R496 Ballina is being monitored daily.
He said he is conscious of the fact that traffic from the R494 has been diverted to the R496 to accommodate works.
He said they have, and will continue to “make interventions” where needed.
Mr O’Connor was responding to Cllr Phyll Bulger, who asked if money had been allocated to the R496.
She also raised concerns about flooding in the area, which she said needed to be addressed as a “matter of urgency.”
