An extra €1.756m government funding has been allocated for regional and local roads in Co. Tipperary damaged by persistent rainfall over the winter and spring roads. 
Minister of State Jack Chambers' announcement of this allocation of €1,756,500 emergency funding was welcomed by Tipperary Fianna Fáil TD Jackie Cahill.  
The funding is to deal specifically with the impact of climate change, which has contributed to a deterioration in the surface quality of certain parts of the roads network.
"This emergency investment will give Tipperary County Council the funds necessary to repair potholes and other damage on our roads caused by the extremely heavy rainfall over the winter and spring months.
“In persistent wet conditions, water seepage contributes to damage such as the development of potholes or pavement collapse." 
"These funds will significantly improve the worst impacted areas of the road network."
He added: "Fianna Fáil in Government is committed to supporting local authorities in the maintenance and renewal of the regional and local road network.”
