Longford Westmeath TD Sorcha Clarke was responding to traffic issues in Athlone that has seen footpaths widened and hence less space for driving and parking cars.
She emphasised the need for councils to become more "functional" in their engagement with TDs, and for engineers to improve their communication on such projects.
