Fianna Fail deputy Éamon Ó Cuív is calling for ring fenced funding for Transport Infrastructure Ireland to tackle blackspots in the new year.

The most dangerous stretch of road was found to be located just east of Kylemore Lough, from Clifden to near Leenane along the N59.

Galway was also the county that appeared most frequently in the top 20 list with eight of the most dangerous road segments.

Deputy Ó Cuív says the minister needs to prioritise works on the blackspots highlighted in the report.
