The stop/go system in recent days on the Rahara to Curraghboy Road as a result of flooding from Lough Funshinagh.
Flooding is at crisis point at Lough Funshinagh in county Roscommon as people have been left with no option but to leave their homes.
Several roads have been closed and large sections of farmlands have been completely submerged in water.
The Irish Farmers’ Association Project Team Chair Brendan Golden has sought an urgent meeting with the OPW Minister Kieran O’Donnell to devise a solution.
Minister O’Donnell visited affected local people last week shortly after he was appointed OPW MInister following the cabinet reshuffle.
