ONE side of Bothár na Rinne in Shannon has been resurfaced with the remainder “in a bad state” according to elected representatives.

In a proposal before the Shannon Municipal District, Cllr James Ryan (SF) asked that “the condition of Bóthar na Rinne be assessed with a view to resurfacing as the condition has deteriorated with many bumps”.

Acting senior executive engineer, John Strand outlined that the Shannon MD will ask Road Design to carry out an assessment on the surface.

“It needs resurfacing, it is in very bad condition in places, I welcome the assessment, it definitely needs resurfacing,” Cllr Ryan told Tuesday’s meeting of the Shannon MD.

Seconding the proposal, Cllr Tony Mulcahy (FG) stated, “I drive over it quite a lot. One side of the road has been done and the other needs to be done because it is in a bad state”.
