There was shock news at a local County Council Finance meeting last week, which was confirmed in recent days by Transport Infrastructure Ireland, that planning works on the N4 Mullingar to Longford Project has again been shelved and that work is also suspended on the N52 road plan from Tullamore to Kilbeggan.
It was revealed that the N4 Mullingar to Longford (Rooskey) Project, expected to cost €430m in 2010, is being shelved, after Cllr Johnnie Penrose (Labour) asked at the Council meeting if there was available funding for the project or was it being shelved again.
