Serious concern has been raised over various sections of the N17 in Sligo. 

While plans are afoot to for a major upgrade to the route, it's said to be a lengthy process. 

The road surface in a number of townlands is said to be in a major state of disrepair. 

Speeding along the route is also an ongoing issue. 

Cathaoirleach of the Ballymote Tubbercurry MD, Fianna Fail Cllr Barry Gallagher says the nature of the road makes it totally unsuitable for overtaking or driving beyond the speed limit and yet it's the busiest route in the region. 

He is urgently calling for works to be carried out:
