@AkuAnakTimur there used to be way more. Few years ago (post financial crash) the government downgraded them to tertiary, because maintaining primary/etc roads is responsibility of central gov, but local roads is local government. This means central gov can claim to have reduced expenses for road upkeep
@ebel 😅 😂
Apparently it's similar elsewhere in the republic I guess. Mostly tertiary highways in the middle of cities e.g Cork, Galway, Waterford, etc.
@AkuAnakTimur Pretty sure it's the same reason. 😃
Ireland, eh? 🤷♀️
@AkuAnakTimur It gets "better": at the time (and still mostly now), all the income for local governments comes from.... central government!
Just moving money around to make it look like budget cutbacks. 😉
