"The engineers have advised that this has been looked into and will be upgraded," she said.
The council has said it intends to develop a county wide priority list of junctions that require improvement due to safety or other concerns.
It is hoped that these priority junctions will be examined in 2022 and a consultant appointed to assist in the development of preliminary designs for each junction.

Cllr Breslin has asked the council remove the bad bend on the R415 Road in Nurney on the Kildare
side.
"There have been a number of accidents on this road," she said.
"At this moment in time, there are no plans to remove it and no funding for it," she said.
The council has said in order to address this issue, a detailed design will be required. It said depending on the design, this may also involve land acquisition and relocation of existing services.
There are currently no resources available or funding identified to progress the request.
