New figures obtained by Louth County Councillor Frank Godfrey have shown that €45m has been collected in Louth over the past three years from motor tax.
As the former General Election candidate points out in his Facebook post, however, our roads have rarely been in a worse state.
Little or no road repairs were allocated in this year’s Budget by the council and despite a paltry €700,000 input from the government, it is hardly enough to cater for a county that might be small in size but has one of the largest road networks in Ireland.
Let us know your thoughts on the state of our roads!
