Sinn Féin MLA Caitriona Ruane has said that the Regional Development Minister Michelle McIlveen must ensure that there is no reduction in the amount of monies spent in maintaining roads.

“It is crucial for road safety that all roads are maintained to the highest standards so that we can begin to reduce the number of accidents that are occurring.

She added, “The Minister needs to reassure the public that our roads are safe by spending all monies available to maintain the standards of our roads.”
