O’ Cuiv calls for special fund to raise roads in remote coastal areas

Galway West TD Eamon O' Cuiv is calling for a special fund to raise roads in remote coastal areas. 

Speaking in the Dáil, he said some areas are impassable at high tide - and this problem is only going to get worse into the future. 

He acknowledged some places along the coast are recognised as islands because it happens every day - but many other areas are not. 

Deputy O' Cuiv accepted some people think the required spend is too big when it concerns such a small number of people.

But he argued once the work is done, it's done forever - and the value is there for what amounts to small money.
