Clarity sought on recycling of tonnes of tarmac removed from Mayo roads

Clarity has been requestred on what becomes of tarmac removed for road resurfacing works.

Noting thousands of tons of tarmac have been removed in an N5 resurfacing project, Councillor Ger Deere asked about its end destination.

They are told it is being recycled and put back into use, but he wanted more clarity.

It would go a long way in works on LIS roads, said Councillor Deere, and he wanted to know is it going back into road maintenance
